Spouse Naturalisation : Residence Evidence

Post by wpongal » Sat Apr 16, 2016 10:26 am

Dear Friends

This is regarding the evidence for residence for my spouse naturalisation

she qualifies for 3 years residence , married to a british citizen.

we have nothing apart from the NHS letters / Council tax / Provisional License and maybe payslip for last 3 months

Would this be sufficient?

many thanks

Your wife's passport will be evidence of residence. I assume she has ILR? Was she in the UK on the same date 3 years prior to the day you intend to submit her BC application? When you read through the AN guidance notes you will see the following list of required documents:
*Your passport OR
• *National identity card OR
• *Home Office travel document OR
• *Home Office entitlement card OR
• *Home Office ARC letter OR
• Your birth certificate OR
• *Your photo driving licence OR
A bank, building society or credit card statement issued to you within the last 6
months


and
Evidence of lawful residence during the 5 (or, if the applicant is married to or in civil
partnership to a British citizen, 3) years before the date of the application

Your passports OR say why you are unable to provide one on page 24 and
supply
• Letters from employers, educational establishments or other Government
Departments indicating the applicant’s presence in the United Kingdom
during the relevant period
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

She only needs her passport. She DOES NOT need bank statements etc to prove residency.
Char (CR001 not Casa)
