The online form can surely be so confusing! It's easy to see how you can get so easily confused.

What is your child's nationality?

If your child is a British citizen (Assuming your partner is British) then the child will not be a dependant on you and you simply select no as a dependant and explain your child is British and therefore does not require an extension to stay.

Hi,

Yes the child is british as my partner is British Citizen so thank you for your answer.

I have filled in the required form but not using a solicitor. Just thinking the worst as i have a 6 month baby, If the form was not accepted for any reason would i just need to pay the £1033 fee once again and re-apply?

Also, on the documents it ask for:

Proof of property ownership from the owner of the property you live in, Such as a mortgage statement

My Father in law owns the property so does not pay a mortgage on it so what document would i supply as proof of ownership of the property?

Kind Regards,

My Father in law owns the property so does not pay a mortgage on it so what document would i supply as proof of ownership of the property? A copy of the property deeds.

Just write the child is british and does not require a visa. And yes, as Casa said, you're over thinking it!

I believe the property deed and a letter from your father in law in a statement that explains that he gives you permission to stay in the property would be needed

I wish you all the very best.

Thanks guys for putting my mind at rest but something else has cropped up my partner/sponsor only pays the telephone/broadband bill at home as lives with parents so doesn't pay any other bills.

This is with Plusnet and they don't provide paper bills as they are a paperless company .

They are assuring me the bills i can print online are good for evidence purposes but i cannot take there word for it.

I have attached a picture of the bill with some fields omitted:



It says this needs to be provided as evidence of where {BABY'S NAME} other parent lives - such as utility bills.

Also, some of the 2 year correspondence can i use the above document as one of them even though it is being used as evidence for baby's ?

I have managed to pay £3 for Title Register and £3 for Title Plan and print copy and from some post on this forum i understand the copies are fine. I hope this is still the case?

Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated and thank you for your time...

Kind Regards,

Spoke to plusnet they will not send out any paper bills at all. I found this link

indefinite-leave-to-remain/validating-p ... 52029.html

Is this still the case that printed invoices are valid?

Hi,

As per document request one other document requested is:

• Birth certificate of both of Child's parents

I just realised my birth certificate is in an indian language gujarati.

I assume i will need to get this translated an does it require Apostille? I found out from a local company but they want £200+ for this service. Can anyone recommend me birth certificate translator services that offer the correct document for HO?

Also, my partners passport does this need to be a certified copy as i have only put normal copy...?

Kind Regards,

[CR001]

No recommendations allowed.

Any documents not in English must be translated. Your embassy could probably do it or an official translator. No need for apostille.

Partners passport only needs to be copied

Thank you guys for all your help nearly ready to submit my application now. Another question i had was it states to provide:

Documents supporting my other reasons to stay in the UK?

Now i understand everyone's situation is different but obviously my partner and family is here. I have been attending some courses and have the certificates for these so will be putting in these certificates and my 6 months old babies birth certificate.

What other Documents supporting my other reasons to stay in UK be supplied?

Do they want photographs etc?

Kind Regards,
