The timeline thread appreciates it.Tea_with_scones wrote:Hi everyone,
I've been following people's experience and thought I'd open a new thread to give the "timeline" one a bit of breathing room. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The short story is that I would apply for PR this october, claiming that I've exercised treaty rights as a student (a piece of my bachelor's + a piece of my PhD = 5 years). Here are my questions:
1) I may be extrapolating to absurdity here, but would you say I need to show evidence of self-sufficiency for the short summer break after finishing my bachelor's and before starting my PhD, when technically I didn't have the status of a student? My degree certificate is dated 1st August 2013 and I started my PhD in late September 2013. What would be the best way to bridge small gaps and holidays in one's QP, or should I not bother if it's short?
2) My CSI is with WPA, the "Premier" policy, with the dental package included. I know that there are no set rules as to which CSI provider should be used, but if by chance anyone here had cover from WPA I am curious to hear your story.
3) I haven't got much in the way of bills for the 5 years, as those have included flatsharing, sometimes with a resident landlord, so the bills were often not in my name. I have not worked as a student. I DO have every single bank statement for the past 5 years, showing funds at all times and daily activity. Would that be strong enough proof of residence (retail transactions) and self-sufficiency for the gap (funds), if supplemented by my tenancy agreements and university certificates?
Thank you for your time.
Full marks for having the foresight to invest in CSI; its saved you a world of pain.Tea_with_scones wrote:Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, I've been continuously covered by CSI since 5 October 2011 (that is my QP starting point).
Bank statements and tenancy agreements are the only types of evidence that I have covering all 5 years, I have a few council tax documents and maybe I could find one or two of the other documents mentioned, but these are sporadic and certainly not available for the full 5 years per type of document.
