Urgent: cohabitation docs - applying separately

[tier1-immigrant]

I need to apply for certificate from NARIC for my wife (for ILR). One of the questions asked on the registration page is : Immigration tier and the need to select on from :
1) Tier 1
2) Tier 2
3) Tier 4
4) Tier 5
5) Family , Settlement, Nationality

My wife is on Tier 1 dependant visa, so which one should I select from above ? Tier 1 or Family ?

If I select Tier1 then in the next question which ask for immigration route the options are
1) Graduate Entrepreneur
2) Entrepreneur
3) Exceptional Talent
4) Investor


So which one should I select for Teir-1 Dependent ? Thanks for any info.

Found from previous posts. It is Settlement.


But it is very confusing. They ask " Make sure you read and understand the UKVI guidance and know your Tier and Route." So it is not clear whether we should specify current visa Tier or the one we are going to apply for (ILR in my case).

Hi Applying for ILR for my wife. She has a degree from India.

For NARIC certificate do I need to get 1) Statement of Comparability and Visa and Nationality service ?

When I select these two, it asks for immigration route.But options are only Tier1 Tier2 ...Tier3, Family Settlement,Croatian National,OverseaBusiness visa. Nothing for Tier 1 PBS dependent.

Which one should I select ?

Ok, got it. I only need to select Visa and Nationality service which is for both degree and english language.
and to select settlement for immigration route option.

Applying for wife's ILR. I have got my already, last year.

Do I need to provide my original passport and BRP along with wife's application or just photo copies are good enough ?

I am applying for my wife's ILR. I already got ILR. Do I still need to provide cohabitation docs?

As per the below text from the SET(O) form,my interpretation is if applying separately it is not required.

"If you have a spouse or civil partner listed in section 2 of this application form who is applying
at the same time as you, please provide documentary evidence of cohabitation since you
were last granted leave (up to a maximum of two years). Evidence provided should cover the
whole period and be in the form of official letters or documents, addressed to yourself and
your spouse. "

Is my understanding correct ? Thank you.

Hi There,

Did you manage to find if the documents are required for cohabitation proofs? I am in the similar situation, I have few bills but can not cover the whole period of 2 years from different sources.

Cheers,
Vinod.
