How do you reckon it would be an issue?
Bcz I did not make monthly payments from April 2018 to march 2019 and ask them to take it from my overpayment Pot this statement shows no payment in mortgage statement.

Why would HO be interested in such info? Requirement to show Accommodation proof and how much we pay every month
How would it impact a visa application?
Sameas above

Naric Certificate English Requirement ( SET M )

Post by Kindsoul » Thu Dec 05, 2019 5:53 pm

I am preparing for the SET M and bit unsure about the English Requirement. During the last extension i have provide the Naric certificate ( bachelor degree) with C1 which is above the requirement and was accepted.
So
Can i use the same Naric Certificate for SET M application. Just want to get second opinion as most of the people here have done the B1 course to meet the requirement.

Also how do we answer the question below:
Did you meet the knowledge of English requirement as part of an indefinite leave appplication made on or after 28 October 2013?

This is my first time to apply for indefinite under SET M so not sure what shall i put here YES or NO?

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

choose yes if you meet the English language requirements and submit evidence.

Yes, use both naric comparability and c1 level letters

Thanks very much . If I choose Yes then according to the question I have already applied and used an indefinite leave appplication made on or after 28 October 2013 which is not correct as it will be my 1st time applying ILR under SET(M) and contradict the with the question asked.

This question was lifted from the naturalisation application form and shld remove the indefinite word from it . I spoke to CW and told me that choose yes and add evidence. The rule of this game is evidence:what ever option you choose make sure your add ur evidence

What is CW ? So we either choose Yes Or No do not make a difference as question does not make sense with regards to our application. However we will be providing the evidence.

Hello everyone,
We are going to apply next week for SET (M) however stuck at one question: the evidence of monthly housing cost.

We are required to provide eveidence of monthly cost.

I have a mortgage with Nationwide bank but i have not received the yearly mortgage statement yet. I have spoken to them and they said you will be receving it by 31st of January which will be too late as we are applying next week. I have the yearly mortgage payment statements for year 2017 and 2018 but i guess they are more interested to see the recent one for 2019 which i have not received yet.


In that case can i use my Santander bank statements as i pay my monthly mortgage payments from this bank .
Will it be sufficient and acceptable?

Hope i have been able to present my situation and question well.

Thanks everyone in advance.

Regards

You don’t need the annual statement, just something that shows what contractual payments are due. Are you applying under a exemption to the standard financial requirements?

First of all sorry for asking question under new topic.

Thanks very much Amber for your reply . Much appreciated.
So if i understood right i only need to show the contractual mortgage agreetment which mention the duration of the mortgage and payment to be taken every month, no other document required.

No i am not applying under exemption to the the standard financial statement. Does it have any relevance to the question i asked above.

Indeed, housing costs are not relevant to the application per se. They are more relevant if exempt from the standard financial requirement.

There is no such a requirement as address proof. It is cohabitation documents to show you two lived together in a subsisting marriage. You should be fine

Thnaks very much. Yes you are right its cohabitation documents under which we are showing 6 different documents eg diffrent bank statements ( 4) , council tax bill ( 1 ) and water bill (1) .

Is just that water bill is dated 26th February 2019 ( showing payments covering from april 2019 to March 2020)
As al, documents should be no older than 28 days if i understood correctly so that why i asked this question. Hope it make sense.

Soory i have followed the checklist on home office website in which it ask you to provide cohabitation documents covering last 2.5 years.
It says 6 Letters or other documents addressed to you and you partner at the same address to show that yoy have been living together for the past 2.5 years
Therefore we are providing those documents

Am i doing anything wrong here?

You need a selection of documents for every 3 or 4 months spanning the last 2 years. Not just one water bill, one council tax etc.

The not older than 28 days rule for documents does NOT apply to cohabitation evidence.

Thanks very much. We are showing every 3 to 4 months spanning the last 2.5 years . Regarding the council bill we have 1 document for each year since its only produced once a year showing all payments detail for each month till next year and same goes for water bill which is also produced each year covering whole year.

Do you think it will create any issue?
we have all the bank statements from 4 different banks on joint name

We have other documents too
Virgin media bills
Driving Licence
Voting card for each year
