Hi hi,

Please i have questions:

1. For separate documents with wifey and i with same addresses, must it be same period, e.g. same month, May 2020 for 2 different documents of NHS letter & maybe Virgin media bill?

We only have 2 joint documents, bank statement and Water bill.. this question is for separate documents.

2. Pls are 2 different bank statements from 2 banks regarded as same source? e,g. Barclays & TSB.. will that be 1 source? 2 sources?

3. My name is only on tenancy agreement but not on council tax, and i don't intend to submit council tax as a document, is that ok as long as i have other sources.

4. Any link for the housing requirement for the nos of people that can live in a house depending the nos of rooms in a house? i can't seem to find it... trying to find the max amount of people that can stay in a 2bedroom with a parlor

Thanks for anticipated answers.

N.B: Please can those who have been granted visa extension continue to update us with docs submitted so we can be updated ..thanks

Yes

Do they come with stamps? Just the logo of the bank is all you need. They will call to confirm if they need to. No fear.

Aphrodite007:


1) i grouped 4 months together for each year. Example, I came in March, so March April May and June, I looked for a document that had his name and my name that fell within these period, and that was for period one. I did the same for all the other months (grouped in 4 months; if we had a proof with the two names, that would represent that period, otherwise I picked one for any month in the period with his name, and any month in that period in my name). Simple.

2) why do you need two bank statements? To prove your salary for the 6 months? If yes, wasn’t the salary paid into one account? You just need that one account. If it’s to prove address, You just need 1 month statement of any bank.

3) council tax is quite important sha. If your name isn’t on it it means you both have been paying for just 1 person.. wait how is your name on tenancy but not council? Aren’t you on the electoral roll? I pity your credit file

4) dunno. Google HMO (home of multiple occupancy I think).

newbie715:



1. No, you need 6 documents each in individual names or 6 together in joint names across 2.5 years. I used individual documents and just spread it out over the period. Don't over think it. I just picked 3 documents a year for myself spread out evenly and 3 for my spouse, some were same month, some were not.

2. I used bank letters from 2 different banks, not statements. So like a letter telling me about interest rate change from one bank and another telling me that my account qualifies for a credit card from another bank.

3. Isn't evidence of council tax payment a requirement? I think it is, I included it. Your name doesn't have to be on the bill (mine isn't and hasn't been for the 5 years I have been here) but the council MUST be aware that you reside at the address and calculate your council tax accordingly otherwise it's illegal.

4. Use this link to check for overcrowding https://lha-direct.voa.gov.uk/bedroomcalculator.aspx

profemebee:
1. thanks for the knowledge..

2. i want to use it for proof of address for the 2years plus. I was thinking of using multiple bank statements as proof of address but i think i should just use our joint bank account alone as proof of address after reading your explanation.

3. I had to go during lockdown to submit my docs for right to rent checks to get on the tenancy agreement sometime last year May 2020. Also, i'm on the electoral roll and registered to vote. This is one of the documents i'm even going to use when i want to renew. However, i just never wanted to do the council tax as i intend to move to another place with wifey. We are 3adults and 1baby staying here in 2bd room apartment (wifey, her sister, sister's daughter and i) and they were listed in my initial spousal visa application and tenancy agreement, and i came in Oct 2019.

Please can you explain oooo? should i work on getting my name in council tax even now before i move?

I'm now worried.

Aphrodite007:


Please group the months in 4 periods. Look for at least two council tax for each year you’ve been here, and attach them to the period that they belong to, then Identify what documents match other periods.

That council tax is important (and probably mandatory), so please work on that.

profemebee:
1. thanks, this answers it all

2. hmmmm bank letters, i have to find bank letters to sort this then.

3. Sincerely, i didn't know it was a problem. I just didn't even think of it. I hope it isn't too late, i will work on that from tomorrow asap. I came Oct 2019.

Also, if your name wasn't on the council tax bill, did you just present it with maybe your partner's name with same address Or someone else's name but same address?

4. thanks for the link.

The answers you get depend on the information you present. Going by your updates, I don't think you have a problem re council tax.

From your initial questions, I assumed it was just you and your wife in an apartment and you didn't inform your council when you arrived so your council tax was based on one person which is illegal like I said before. Since there were 2 adults before you arrived (your wife and her sister), I assume your council is aware of that, if that is the case then the full council tax is being paid and you owe no arrears as full council tax is calculated by 2 adults and you have no issues especially as you said you are on the electoral roll. You therefore do not need to contact your council, you just need the bill.

In answer to your question, my husband's name is on our council tax bill and that's what I presented.

profemebee:
mehnn you just made my heart a bit calmer with your explanation.

Yes, council knew that initially there were 2 adults and a baby, and now 3 adults and a baby as we have sent an email already tonight.

We will follow up with a phone call tomorrow and hopefully someone picks up. I will provide feedback once i get from the council.

I thought council tax will increase with every adult added.

Also, regarding bank letters, i can just download and print out bank letters from my mobile banking apps.

thanks...

newbie715:


Full council tax is based on at least 2 adults, a 3rd adult doesn't increase the bill. Check out the link https://www.gov.uk/council-tax/who-has-to-pay

I also underlined the relevant section in the screenshot but revert with the update from your council tomorrow.

Print out of letters will work, you are still going to scan them and upload anyway.

profemebee:
i dont mind paying any arrears for the council tax.. i honestly didnt know it was a problem

I'm grateful i even asked here, imagine i tried to renew spousal visa next year without knowing all these?

Regarding the 2 council tax for each year you're referring to, i hope i can achieve getting my name in quickly before the bill comes cos i think it comes just 1ce a year, sometime April. That means the one for April 2021 is almost due. After that, i can then show the one for the new apartment when i move this year.

Thanks.



I’m glad it’s helped you. You don’t need to pay an arrears, just add your name and it would likely increase. Most counties council tax is online, check if yours is, open an account using the information of your council tax for your current home (that’s in your wife’s name), then add your name on it. If the price increases, pay. Turn on email/monthly council tax (I get mine every month) and you’ll get it for this year.

As for last year, I’m not sure they can backdate. As far as your wife paid the ctax in the previous years, I think it can pass.

Called Council .. Council said they will update my name once they've gone thru the details requested via email (name, date i moved in, and tenancy agreement with my name in it).

Sent email with details and i hope they can reply cos i heard it can take weeks for a response to emails.

Then they will send a revised bill with my name added to the house. I don't know if that's the April bill he is referring to tho..

He didn't mention anything about arrears..

so i guess it is to wait for a response confirming the details sent via email are good...

thankssssssss...

profemebee:
was that Nov13th 2018 also the date on your letter tho? or just the day you came to the UK?

Thanks for the naric question.. i was going to ask same as i initially thought i needed to re-order a new set as the naric statements i ordered for the initial application might have expired.

deept:


28 days before your visa expires.

Yes naric still valid

Aphrodite007:


Your BRP has the expiry date. Just ensure you apply before it expires.

Nessa29:
Hello everyone.
For those that have applied this 2021 so far, how much is the visa fee and IHS fee? Would appreciate

tosine:
Hi guys,

Is there a page for indefinite leave to remain in the UK.

Also, is life in the UK test required for indefinite leave to remain in the UK. I am asking because I will soon be applying for this. Thanks

Bourne007:
It's a 'must' requirement

tosine:
Thanks.

Another question: Do we need to pay NHS Surcharge for indefinite leave to remain in the UK application.
