skilled_migrant wrote:Do we need to show proof of maintenance funds for ILR application SET(O)?
I have asked this question before and senior members replied that we do not need maintenance funds for ILR. BUT according to two most recent cases CW is asking for proof of maintenance funds.

I tried to search guidance notes related to this but could not find something conclusive.
Can anybody please point out exact sections in guidance about maintenance funds required/not required? I want to take those with me at the appointment in case CW asks I should be able to talk with reference.
SET(O) sections 11 says
"Evidence of your finances. If you have to complete section 5, bank statements, building society savings
book(s), pay slips or other formal documents as evidence of your ability to maintain and accommodate yourself
and any dependants without recourse to public funds."
Thank you for your reply. You should really appreciate what your intelligent wife has done. She really saved you from any unnecessary questioning from CW.aandu wrote:skilled_migrant wrote:Do we need to show proof of maintenance funds for ILR application SET(O)?

hi, I was one of the guys who was aske for the proof.
I did not show proof of funds for the last 3 months. I just showed the last one month's statement. In fact, I had no inkling they were going to ask me for the proof. I received my monhtly bank statements by post on 19th March afternoon and my prescient wife, for some reason known only to her, decided they must go in to the cohab documents folder we had set up.
When the CW asked me the proof of funds, I just sat there gaping and then tried to mentally recall SET-O/SET-O guidance/245CD,etc.
As for SET(O) sections 11, I had shown tenancy agreement and highlighted the rent paid. They checked that as well but still asked for proof.
That's why I posted it here so that no one else is in my situation.
