Hi
My husband recieved entry clearance on the 06th Febrauary 2007 and came to the UK on the 24th of Feb 2007. I understand that he is eligible to apply for ILR 28 days before 27th Feb 2009.
I was looking at the SET M application form and also understand that i need to provide 20 Documents from 5 sources spread over the 2 years he has been in the country.
My dilema is that we lodged in a freind's house from the 26th February 2007 till early October 2007 and then we moved into my parents house as the lodger agreement no longer suited my friend. However during that time although my husband and I were living with my friend (because there was not enough room at my parental home) my bank statements and payslips continued coming to my mums house.
This was not a problem for me as i mainly used internet banking and spent a lot of free time at my mums anyway. All my husbands documents however used to come to our friends house (mainly payslips and employment letters - no bank statements as he had no bank account)
My brother moved away to go to University and so in October 2007 we moved back in to my parents house as the lodger agreement did not suit my freind anymore. From October 2007 we have letters (mainly addressed to us individually but proves co-habitation anyway) etc. However for the 7 months of him being here we have nothing to prove co-habitation other than a
Lodger Agreement and a
Notice to Terminate.
I know John is going to say how about doctor letters, insurance etc etc but seriously we have nothing. However my husband only opened his own bank account in March 2008 and so his wages before then were coming to my account so this may or may not be proof that we were together as our finances were joint (but he was not a joint account holder
.
Can anyone advise if this will go against us? Would a letter explaining this be sufficient? Please advise
Thanking you again
