Cohabitation Documents question

[sheraz_aries]

Regrading the Cohabitation Documents statement below, my question is:

1- Do we need documents from 3 different source or it has to be something that should cover the whole time period .
2- Can we use the source used for the other year as well?
3- Does it has to be letter that got just one date or a whole bill covers a period.

---------------

Note 8 We need 6 letters or other documents addressed to you jointly or in both your names. If you do not have enough
items in your joint names, you may also provide items addressed to each of you individually if they show the same address
for both of you. Examples of acceptable letters and documents are listed below. They must be originals.
The dates of the letters or documents should spread over the whole 2 years. They should be from at least 3 different
sources.
Please give an explanation on a separate sheet if you cannot provide 6 items; if the documents are not addressed to both of
you; or if they do not cover the 2-year period. If you and your partner lived with relatives or friends for some or all of the 2-year
period, please provide a letter from the relative(s) and/or friend(s) confirming this.
If you did not live together for any part of the 2-year period, tell us the reasons for this and whether you stayed in contact with
each other during this time, and provide any relevant supporting evidence.

Basically an official letter in each name or one each every 4 months. Put the whole statement or letter in if you can but just one page will do if you can't providing it has the relevant date on it and your name and address. The total 6 letter (or possibly 12) have to be from at least 3 different sources. So coud be for eg 2 bank statements, 2 council tax bills and 2 credit card statements. For set(m) use the SCS as its makes life easier regardless of whether it is a postal or peo appointment.

HI
I would be applying for ILR along with 1 dependent and need to know if there are any funds requirement that needs to be maintain during last 12 months before application

Under what category you are applying? Pl. give more details of your Immigration History.

I am under Tier 1 general

www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/bringing your family. You should be getting information from this web site. It will give the funds you need to show.

Thanks Kevin,
I understand that being on tier 1 I need to get same points I showed during my Tier 1 application, and that would include showing bank statement of last 12 months but my question is do I need to maintain some funds throughout that 12 months period?

You should Maintain the Minm. Balance over a period. Say 6 months.

So you reckon having £1000 in account for six months before the application ( main applicant + dependant ) would be sufficient ?

Please read the successful experiences of Members as similar case like yours. I think £ 1,000 bal. every month for the last 6 months plus a good savings account,you should be fine. If your case is straightforward one no need to worry.

But I donot have any saving account

No problem.Don't worry, some times CW have approved ILR,if the other documents are O.K. Do you work for an Employer as a Tier 1 migrant.Then Employer could confirm your salary etc.

No funds are required for ILR.. Just had my ILR approved with no savings account and not having kept much funds in the account.

Thanks to all

Thank you for that . Congratulations.

I got a general question regarding earning in ILR

the guidance says that you can show 12 consecutive months payslips out of 15 just before the application date.

My Question is : if i can earn required earning points in 6 months then out of last 15 months can i show first 6 months payslips (hence the payslips would be of 9 months old but still be within 15 months before the application date.)?

Yes you can.

Hi
I need to make payment of £2600.

Would it possible to use multiple credit cards to make the above payment?

If you are using Debit card then one should be good. These days, you need to enter PIN to authorise your payment. You can keep another debit card (spoue) for mitigation.

My query is regarding credit cards.

Hi ,

Well , technically you can make payment with any plastic card accepted at UKBA PEO payment terminal but it's wise to give your payment in one clean go just to avoid any ££'s mistake .. You have to make successful payment before any one can touch your application ... good luck mate for your visa

Thanks

This is not what my question is Sad

Sorry I did not notice. Credit cards are too risky. I have never made a large payment using credit card. Sorry I can not help.

any body?

I think you can make payment like that but it is painful to the officer & you have to submit two or three payment details page.

bot advisable to be honest.

I made a payment with my one credit card & its all ok.

Hi there,

I didnt face any issues when I use my credit card. I used 2 credit cards for my payment of the fees and didnt even fill the payment sheet. The lady at the counter said as long as the pin gets verified you should be fine. So I guess it should be okay.

in that case you can use two credit card but safe side if I would you I will make another sheet for payment in case.

Thanks

Hi,
I would be applying for ILR along with one dependant. Is there any maintenance requirement and how much?

Anybody?

There is no maintenance requirement for ILR but showing good saving makes your case stronger that you can manage for sometime without recourse to public fund in case of contingency .

just got my wife ilr today. No maintanace, but better to put some money in your or your wife accou t. I put money in just last week before applying. All went good. Suggested peo. Go to Solihull bro. Thx. Aways here for help thx

Congrats on your wife's ILR, can i ask how much did you added and was it only for your wife?

For the sake of clarifying what might be understood by others as something relevant and necessary, when it is not:

Just because you added money to your account does not mean it actually affected or bolstered the decision.
Just because you applied in Solihull does not mean it actually affected or bolstered the decision.

[Amber]

I would be applying for ILR in few months time along with one dependant.
Although i know there isnt any maintenance requirement for main applicant or dependant but as mentioned by others I am planning to keep maintenance for 3 months period.

My Question is:

I have two bank accounts, out of which one is joint with my wife.

Would it be okay to show one account statement as evidence to claim salary points while the Joint account to show maintenance funds?

A quick answer would be really appreciated.

There is no maintenence requirement so your question is irrelevent.

I know but just to be in safe side would there be any obligations on using two different accounts?

So if you are choosing to invent scenarios that have no bearing on the reality, you may do as you wish! Stop wasting our time!

I would be completing 5 yers on Tier 1 visa in March 2014 although my Tier 1 extension visa is valid until may 2014.

My question is, Can i apply for ILR in March 2014 or i can only do that 28 days before my visa expiry?

Any evidence case, rule link would be really appreciated.

28 Days before qualifying period. Refer to Q4

Just to clarify...

Does it mean i can apply as soon as i complete my 5 years and dont have to wait for my current visa to end?

[Amber]

When did you get EC and when did you enter the UK?

[sheraz_aries]

When did you get EC and when did you enter the UK?

I got Tier 1 General in UK on 02 March 2009, although my Tier 1 extension visa is valid until 22 May 2014.

My question is, at what date I would be eligible for ILR?

Any evidence case, rule link would be really appreciated.

[vinny]

You may apply for ILR no sooner than 28 days prior to the completion of your 5 years qualifying period and before your leave expires. Between Sunday, 2 February 2014 and Wednesday, 21 May 2014.
