10 years long stay

[santu17]

Hi all..friend of mine applying for ILR 10years long stay. As per the guideline and application form it is not mandatory to have 6 months or 1 year bank statements. But, he has consulted one of legal advisor and was been told to put the above requirement.

Would any can help me..to clarify this?

Thank you

You have answered your own question. Bank statements are not mandatory. I did not include bank statements when I applied for ilr (10-year route) in September 2011. And my application was successful.

In 10 years long residence ILR application you are not required to submit any document but it's good to submit documents like Bank statement and Payslips. if You have done any charity or community work then it's all good for your application and submit them too.

i m agreed with Derlin. as far as you are able to show all your visas and passports which you have been using in your 10 yr stay, then you dont need to show anything else apart from other typical requirements/
one of my friend did the same and he got visa in 5 weeks.
best of luck

Including or not including bank statements is a matter of personal choice. Though you are expected to support yourself financially in the UK, proof of finance is not a qualification for ilr via the 10-year route, and neither is it a justification for refusal. In other words, a 10-year-ilr application cannot be refused on the grounds of insufficient funds; failure to provide bank statements or show proof of funds.

Read through this thread: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... sc&start=0 You would find hundred cases of successful 10-year-ilr applications made without bank statements.
