ILR - Required documentation

[ronnie31]

Hi

I'm a new comer on this website and have learnt from a colleague that you always get a very good response from the members of this site.

I'm due to apply for ILR following the judgement in favour of HSMP holders (of course after 20th May).

1) My situation is I came to UK in June 2005 on a WP through a small Indian Company. They paid me an allowance in UK and salary in India. My bank statements in UK are a proof of that allowance. But I don't have any proof of my company paying income tax and NI contributions on my behalf. I applied for HSMP in Oct 2005 and got a permanent job in UK in march 2006. Since then I have all the proofs of NI contribution etc etc.

I've heard these days the HO is asking for P60 for all the years you've worked in UK. My previous company can't provide me with that documentation. Rather they are unwilling to do that. What do I do in this case? Please advice.

What other documentation is required at the time of ILR appointment?

2) My wife's only been in UK since Jan 2009 as my dependent i.e. she's only spent 4 months here. Now when I apply for ILR, is she applicable
for getting the PR with me? Is there a minimum duration that a dependent needs to spend in UK before he/she could apply for PR?

I'm sure many of my friends on this website will be in the same boat as I am.

I can already see some light at the end of the tunnel(after HSMP forum winning case), please help me come out of this tunnel completely.
Thanks in advance.
Ronnie.
