My wife is due to apply for ILR next week at Liverpool (only appointment we could get ) and we have just finishe filling out the form setM and putting our documents together , and see that on the document check list it says "Please note that in some cases , we may have to ask for other documents in addition to those specified in this form " Any clues on what these other documents may be ? we live in wolverhampton but our appointment is in liverpool so cant just pop home and get something else so want to be fully prepared this is what we have included :-

photographs of applicant (plus spares done in different photo shops and booths as they all seem to vary a bit)

photographs of partner and spares as above

applicants passport

partners passport

applicants birth certificate

partners birth certificate

last 5 months joint bank statements

10 months partners payslips

14 weeks applicants payslips

ESOL qualification and letter from the college

letters addressed to both of us including bank statements, water bill, gas bills, electric bills, council tax bills ,letters from the bank and utilities companies total 24 over 2 years

letters just to the applicant including letters from GP , college total 13

partners divorce certificate from previous marriage

Thai marriage certificate and translations

partners contract of employment

tenancy agreement for where we live (at the moment only in my name as housing assocition will not add some one with out ILR )

letter from housing association showing current rent rate

I thought probably more than needed but anything else any one thinks should be included ?

Just a small point regarding the ESOL qualification, One now has to be in receipt of the certificate a covering letter from the college is no longer accepted, a must if the qualification period is nearing its end and awaiting certification from the governing body. I know someone who was recently refused ILR on this point alone.

yes we have the actual city and guilds ESOL certificate the letter from the college states that the course contained citizen ship materials is an acredited college along with reasons why and the college acredition number and the level she was assesed at and level she advanced to all exactly as stated in application notes for ESOL requirements

[bigdave1960]

just had a look on the set m notes does clearly state you need the actual original certificate or the application will be refused

@bigdave 1960

It doesn't seem a problem having just your name on the Rental Contract,it's more to do with you both having a place to live,which was a condition of your her Settlement Visa.

Possibility of asking for further Documents,is probably covering obscure eventualities,in unusual applications.....Relax,sounds like you have done the business.

Basically all you have to do is up date the file you submitted for her settlement Visa, put in her ESOl certificate and accrediting letter from the collage in all the originals.

Not quite, Thongkorn.

They also need to provide at least 6 documents as per the SET(M) form to show that they have been living together for the last two years.

Bigdave, if you check the form you will see that you are providing a lot more than is actually required.

well I guess it did the trick anyway as wife was granted ILR at Liverpool yesterday afternoon , long wait at the liverpool peo but got there in the end , so glad thats all over , many thanks to everyone who has offered advice and input over the last few years from the initial spouse visa to ILR your help was very much appreciated by the way the only information they didnt bother with was our birth certificates based on them not keeping the photocopies of those but kept everything else
