Spouse ILR not accepted - Evidence for living together

[baskey]

Hi,

This is for my friend, who is a british citizen and his wife is in Spouse visa at present which is going to expire in another 3 weeks. They have gone to Home office today for getting ILR for his wife. They had evidence of bills and other govt. correspondence as stated in the requirement except for first 3 months (i.e from Oct 2003 till Dec 2003.) out of 2 years of stay as a married spouse. ( also had their baby 4 months before). The officer in the Home office refused her application and told them to bring evidence for first 3 months of living together.

Now he is hardly finding any proof for this period. Could any one suggest what can he do to solve this problem. Whether any body had similar problem in the past. Is a affidavate from a solicitator would help in coming out of this issue?

Any feedback is welcome..

Thanks,

REgards,

No offence meant but unlikley application refused on this basis solely unless other issues raised by the caseworker and were not responded to and/or substantiated by the applicant and spouse. Was refusal letter issued and what are the grounds? In other words I can't help without the truth. PM if you prefer.

can they refuse the application simply because they cant show the first few months? If so then i think ill need to start saving all my stuff Do you have to send them 2 years worth of bank statements /letters/bills etc?:O that cant be right?

Yes they need it for 2 yrs atleast. But in his case we are trying to get some old proof like a letter from NHS doctor..

But better option to include spouse name as a joint account in utilitity bills, BT bills and Bank etc..

My friend who went for a personal appointment for ILR a year ago witnessed someone being turned away because they did not have anything from the first 3 months either. They HO specifically wanted something for the first 3 months and the last 3 months of the 2 year period. And were more lenient with the time between.
