Need some clarifications
1. Though I am on Tier 2 from June 2011, I was a HSMP Tier 1 dependent from April 2009 to till i get Tier 2 on 27/June/2011, do I need to submit any documents particularly absence related letter? my 5 years claiming period towards ILR is no way related to Tier 1.

Please let me know if I left something, particularly on cohabitation documents.

Thanks in adavance
