Evidence of continuous residence in the UK?

[Spaghettio]

Hi All,

Just looking for a little help as my appointment for ILR is coming up in under two weeks and I've filled out the form and gathered all my details. Just want to double check all my evidence is okay.

So, just for a little background I am applying on the 5 year route spouse visa with a SET M application- no children/dependents. My husband is a UK born citizen, I'm originally from the USA and we are currently living in the UK and applying in person at the Glasgow Centre.

Below is the evidence I have for the application:

2 x passport sized photos of me
1x passport photo of spouse
2 x current passports, mine and spouse
2 x old passports, mine and spouse (We have both renewed our passport within the last five years)
1 x biometric residence permit, mine
2 x birth certificates, mine and spouse
1 x NI letter, mine
1 x marriage certificate
1 x Life in the UK Test pass letter

The following for both myself and my spouse:

6 months worth of bank statements from current employer- printed and stamped
6 months worth of statements for joint and separate savings account- printed and stamped (note we are not relying on cash savings to meet the financial requirement, but I am including these any way)
Letter from current employer detailing employment/salary etc
Employment contracts
6 months worth of payslips
Most recent p60
Letter from spouse's previous employer stating leaving date- left job in January and started new job in Feb- he has payslips from Feb to July (6 in total)

Correspondence:

Joint Mortgage in Principle, dated November 2017
Joint electric bill, dated July 2017
Joint electric bill, dated Feb 2016
Joint council tax bills dated:
- March 2016 (covering 04/2016 - 01/2017)
- March 2017 (covering 04/2017 - 01/2018)
- March 2018 (covering 04/2018 - 01/2019)
- June 2018 (covering 07/2018 - 02/2019)- set up direct debit in May 2018 and was issued new bill
Letter from the bank to me, dated July 2018
Credit card offer from bank to spouse, dated November 2017
Letter from the bank to spouse, dated May 2018
Doctor's letter to me, dated May 2016

I realise that might be too much? But want to be safe just in case?

I was looking over the checklist form and there's something called 'evidence of continuous residence in the UK'- am I to submit anything for this or is this for the points based visas? A bit confused as I think correspondence would cover this?

Any help anyone could provide would be insanely welcome.

Thanks in advance- this forum has already been so helpful!

Can anyone help? If I need to do anything else I only have next week to fix it.

Hi, I am no immigration adviser or expert but in my opinion its all looks about right.
Are you going with a completed SET (M) form? Maybe needed.
and also as you are from the USA, you dont need to provide any evidence of English Language Knowledge.
So Good Luck then!!

Thanks for this!

Yes, I didn’t do the online application so I’m bringing a printed one in.

I’ve not filled out the payment form at the start though just because I’ve booked a premium service appointment and already paid... that’s okay, right?

Thanks again!

Sorry- can someone let me know what Evidence of continuous residence in the UK is?

Just confirming my checklist pages and I’m not sure what to put there? Do I need more evidence?

Thanks

Sorry, my appointment is in a few days... I’ve been looking over then forum and couldn’t find a clear answer about the Set m application page 59 where it asks for continuous evidence of residence in the UK.

I’ve seen people say it’s the same as your correspondence with partner I.e bills and post but is that true and is it only for the 2.5 years or for 5.

I have 11 correspondence letters of evidence... do I just fill the box for correspondence and continuous residence with 11 or do I need proof of mail from 5 years ago?

Thanks!
