Clarification for ILR Document Requirements

Post by WR1 » Sat Jan 04, 2014 11:40 am

I read all the info on the UKBA website and searched this forum but just want clarification regarding cohabitation documents for ILR. In form Set(M), it states:
We need 6 letters or other documents addressed to you jointly or in both your names. If you do not have enough
items in your joint names, you may also provide items addressed to each of you individually if they show the same address
for both of you.
For example – 4 items of correspondence in joint names to the same address and 2 items addressed to each partner at the
address. In total 8 items will need to be submitted.
If you and your partner have no bills or correspondence in joint names you will need to submit 12 items (6 each) of correspondence,
evidencing that you reside together at the same address.
Examples of acceptable letters and documents are listed below. They must be originals.
The dates of the letters or documents should spread over the whole 2 years. They should be from at least 3 different
sources.
The question is for example say you have joint bank account statements spanning over two year period. That would be 24 documents in total in joint names from one source. Would this alone satisfy the need for 6 documents in joint names since you have 24 statements which is more than 6. (I know its only one source but the question is the need to meet 6 letters)

Than all you need is a further 2 sources to meet the 3 sources requirement. I assume this can be in single names since you already have 6 documents in joint names as above. Say various NHS letters over 2 years, driving licence etc... for the both on you.

Would this then meet the requirements for documents required.

Or

Do you need 6 joint letters from 3 different sources, i.e. having 3 sources in joint names, say joint bank statement and two separate bills in joint names over two years.

Thanks.

You need to supply one joint letter or a letter each for every 4 months over the last 2 years from a total of at least 3 different sources. I think that's straight forward.
