Now she is one of the most simple women I have ever met or met so I have decided to sent my life with her as I cant see our relationship not succeed until we both are shaking or even dead.



My main question are :


July 06-Aug 07 I don’t have much to show except above as all bills in my name and she just paid me or spent it on shopping for the house (mutual understanding)

Would above doc be enough or do I need to show anything more????


As I alone got a good deal on the mortgage I have kept her credit history when we buy our bigger house. I just bought this to take advantage of the market and banks lending for solely investment for 2/3 yrs.

Would this be of any problems???


As a couple we have taken things slowly and a step at a time.

Explained in our statements. Would that be enough???


As I am the one who had more time on hand working only 20 hrs a wk. I have all the bills in my name but she has paid so many times. How do I prove??? Bill people wont give that information???


I started to take keen and active interest in her finances since Dec 07/Jan 08 when things became very serious and I was sure she is the one. I got her credit cards to do balance tranf so she saves on interest and charges. As before that she would shred everything apart from payslip, letter from hospital and work (must be a work thing)

Thats why I Doc from Jan 08 till date in monthly order Would this be ok???


Above all I have been in the UK 10 yr and made it my home came when I was 18. I applied for my ILR on the 10 yr rule in march in July it was rejected due too what BELOVED HOME OFFICE calls a GAP. I have taken matter looked into it by contacting local MP asking for discretion as due to my current visa they didn’t give me a right to appeal. As they are taking their time I don’t want to be illegal or create another GAP. Would this be a treat to my current application??? (I did have grace statement and copy of her passport when I applied for ILR.


As you can see it has been a bit of a long journey but I am more than anxious and nervous as too whats is to happen as my whole life depends on their decision ???

Victoria I contacted you for help for ILR and you said “ HOW MUCH HO CONTROLES ONES LIFE ITS UNBELIVABLE “ your are so so true.


“ HOW THEY HELL THEY GOING TO GET GOOD CITIZEN BY HAVING SO MUCH CONTROLE “


Once again thanks a lot for reading Please any help question or suggestion would be great. I have been an open book here hoping for a successful result

just to say good luck, personally you have great deal of evidence I prepared more or less same paperwork when I applied wor my husband. Well, I think it is the moral support that is important as well. I know exactly how it feels becaus I am without my husband who applied two months ago and we did not hear anything yet from the embassy.
Lots of patience and faith in your love. All th best
