ILR application form confusing question

[indian89]

Just reading the question it appears the emphasis is on "rent free" - in your case I think it should be NO, spouse normally owns half of the property, if named on the deeds.

only I am named on deed, but will specify in letter that spouse has no rent to pay, assuming that is ok?

are the declarations uploaded to ukvcas?

[alterhase58]

Yes you can say that in the covering note. Any declaration which is required needs to be uploaded.

thank you for your advice.

I note following on UK Gov website with regards to ILR:You’ll be told which documents you need to provide when you apply. You’ll need to:
give proof of your income and where you live - if you’re on the 5 or 2 year route
prove you’ve lived in the UK with your partner since you got your last visa
prove that your relationship with your partner is genuine
prove you meet the English language requirements and have passed the Life in the UK Test

for proving genuine relationship, do we need to provide photos of holidays etc?

[CR001]

No!

No!

how is it proved then?

Cohabitation evidence shwoing you lived together and the relationship was subsisting. The rules do not require specific evidence

What kind of evidence is this?

Letters with both our names on?

In the bullets shown in my earlier post living together is listed as separate bullet compared to genuine relationship which is another separate bullet?

Ignore the GOV.UK. There is an official guide on this:

Generally, a relationship can be accepted as subsisting where the partners’
circumstances have not changed, or if they have changed, they have done so in a
way that is consistent with the relationship continuing. This usually involves
cohabitation, shared financial responsibilities and shared common household
responsibilities, however, there may be circumstances where a relationship is
subsisting despite the partners living apart.

Apologies but I still dont understand this. My spouse does not pay towards anything which I have made clear in accomodation letter.

Well I am providing letters as requested.

I am getting anxious with this aspect now

You do NOT need photos of the relationship for an ILR application.

Thanks but what will provide evidence of genuine relationship then?

[CR001]

Documents in both your names (either joint names or addressed individually to each of you) at the same address for the last two years, from 3 to 6 different sources, spread evenly for every 3 to 4 months.

You are overthinking this. It is not complicated.

IGNORE the gov.UK website. Read the guide instead of making up your own interpretations

[indian89]

thanks guys. I have completed the application and up to the final page it says following
Choose a service

Select a service from the options below. You will not be able to change this after you have submitted your application.
(Required)

Standard service : pay 2404.00 GBP, most people get a decision within 6 months of submitting their on-line application
UK Visas and Immigration will contact you if it will take longer to process your application.




I want premium service so should I login at midnight to check?

Also I clicked save and continue so when I open my application it is showing standard page and providing a worldpay thing should I just click edit and try again and midnight for premium?

[zimba]

Up to you. Super priority service is offered if only available

Online Application - Why there is no Super Priority Service Option ?

Your evidence of cohabitation meets this requirement.

[indian89]

Secured super priority appt.

On the ukvcas website when I go to upload documents, names of documents required are already there. Previously for spouse visa extension, categories were given such as life events, accomodation etc. However, I have been given actual names of documents this time? E.g
It says upload wage slips for person x, upload passport for person x etc.

Is this correct?

Upload all supporting documents, the CW will get to see all your uploaded documents no matter how or what you name them.

Sorry I am not sure you understood my question. The categories like life events, accomodation etc do not exist on the documents upload section of my UKVCAS account.

On the upload documents section of UKVCAS it lists all of the names of documents that were on checklist of documents and has upload document next to it. E.g. it says P60 of named applicant, Passport of named applicant

In the past for spouse extension they were named by sections. E.g. life events, accomodation etc. This is NOT the case on my uploading area now. Is this correct?

[CR001]

We don't have sight of the online forms. If it has changed, we wouldn't know.

It doesn't matter if there are categories or not, ALL documents will be visible to the caseworker. They know what they are looking for!!

[indian89]

Yeah the interface looks different to previous version I saw at spouse visa extension. Basically has the exact names replicated from supporting documents checklist and has upload button next to each one.

In the past there were categories like other, finance etc.

I did scans of passport previously 2 years back and the passport has not changed so I want to use those scans to save time. Is this ok or do I need to redo the scans. Only reason I ask is if caseworker downloaded and clicked properties date of scan would show 2021??

[CR001]

It doesn't matter. You really are overthinking this completely.
