Naturalization application residence proof

Post by arturski » Mon May 02, 2016 6:35 pm

Hello,

My Wife currently holds an Indefinite leave to remain which was granted a year ago. Prior to that she was on 2 x 2 year terms under the spouse visa and before that on other student visas and has always had bio metric permits for all her statuses.

We want to apply for naturalization and satisfy all the requirements, however going through the form they require proof of residency over the past 5 years.

We have submitted letters previously to show residency but do not have historical documents left (bank statements, bills etc). We currently still live under the same address and only have recent statements and documents. What are our options, do we have to wait another 2 years to accumulate proof before we apply?

Thanks
A

Has she lost any of her passports since entering UK? If not, there is no need to provide any "residency" proof.
If yes, is she employed / self-employed?

Thanks for the fast reply, we have all her previous passports and she is also employed and has been in this job for about 2 years.

She doesn't need anything but her passport(s) as evidence of completing the qualifying period / residence in UK. Clearly mentioned in the form.
