Why do you need these if you have an employer letter?

No Letter from HMRC

If you have been employed with a company throughout, you don't need this as it is required for those who are self employed.

Thanks CR001 . yeah, I agree with you, just putting them as I have them. So you think the set of documents I am producing covers everything which is required?

[deepunayak]

Yes, Yarlie_uk. PBS calculator printout, degree certi & degree taught in english letter from uni are sufficient, don't need NARIC letter. You can go through the link provided by CR001.

Regarding the format, here u go .....

[deepunayak]

I have provided cohab documents from last 2 years. 3+3 if you have common bills 6 + 6 if you have independent documents.

In the form it says ' please provide documentary evidence of cohabitation since you
were last granted leave (up to a maximum of two years)'

Thanks CR001 . Can you please help me with a post PR question . what should be its validity? Ours is valid until 31/12/2024 which is 9 years from now. It should be 10 years right, should have been 31/12/2025?

[CR001]

It should be 10 years yes but it is only the card that expires, not your ILR. The card will need to be renewed in the same way as a drivers license.

Also, if you do apply for citizenship, it is irrelevant regarding your card as once you get British citizenship, your ILR BRP will be cancelled.
