ILR - photcopying documents

[crewmeal]

On page 20 of set m (manually downloaded) it asks for you to tick the list of documents that you will be submitting. The last box requires you to supply photo copies of them. I have literally loads including around 50 bank statements meticulously filed in order, along with the same with pay slips. Is it really necessary to photocopy every document?

Suggestions please

What application are you making? I would personally make a copy of your last 12 bank statements and payslips.

ILR using set m - civil partner based application after 2 years on FLR

Copies of last 12 months should be more than enough. Submit all originals though. They can make copies of others if they want.

If you're submitting 50 bank statements for SET(M), you're submitting way too many! The last 3 months would be normal and 6 months of pay slips. Are you providing this number because you're lacking proof of joint address?

I was asked for 12 months for my ILR PEO application. I took only 6 but luckily had 6 more in the backup so i think 12.

No way we've lived in my own house for the past 2 years and have evidence to support that.

The bank statements are all originals hole punched and in a bank folder, as well as being in number and date order.

All the other documents are set out in plastic sleeves also in a folder, with a contents page at the front!
