I’ll end up sending in more documents than is necessary but better to send too many than not enough I think.
Do not send unnecessary documents or a whole bunch of them you think will do. Submit only what is asked for. Submitting too much means key docs can be missed and an application refused.
That way they can accept the copies or not and if not then the others will take care of that period of time anyway.
It doesn't work like that. Send only what is required based on the rules and guidance. It is not what YOU think is relevant. It is only what HO expect to see based on the rules and guidance notes.
The documents I have means I can’t submit exactly one document for every four months. For example my rent agreement and water bills are generated on months where I don’t have to send something in. How best would you organise the papers I have to meet the co-habitation requirement?
The guidelines state 6 documents per person, from 3 separate sources, spread out evenly over the 2 and a half years, correct? If a bill is in both our names, like a Council Tax Bill, that can be classed as 2 documents.
In your opinion, would the original copies that have been provided to me by United Utilities be accepted by the HO? They seen identical to the originals but with a COPY watermark. I have a cover letter from them saying they are authentic copies. I saw guidance that says I cannot use copies without a good reason? A lot of my documents from 2018 were lost, so I had to request copies. I can get originals for others but how do you know which to use and which not to use?
If possible could you please link me to the guidance notes from HO that talk about co-habitation and accepted documentation? Thanks.
