I asked British Telecom to have my wife's name added to the phone bill to prove we live together

Asked for - David and Varaporn xxxxxx
Got - Mr D xxxxxx and Mrs V xxxxxx


Will this be acceptable for SET(m)

You can also read this in section 3.1

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... -FM2.1.pdf

No harm to provide evidences as many as possible, I guess you are not going to just submit a phone bill only to prove co-habit and shared financial responsibility?

Hi - We are planning ahead for completing SET(m) for my wife's ILR and seek advice.

My wife's Residence Permit (granted for FLR(m) was issued on 15/06/16 and is valid until 07/01/19.

We intend to apply at the Glasgow Premium Centre for ILR - when is the earliest and latest we can apply.


Many thanks
Varaporn

Remember you need cohabitation evidence over 2 years. They don't have to be joint statements.

Hi - As already notified my wife came here on Spouse Visa on 03/12/13 and was granted FLR(m) on 15/06/16.

We intend to apply for SET(m) around 25/11/18.

Am I correct in saying we have to provide items of correspondence to show that we are living together - from 15/06/16 to 25/11/18


Many thanks
David

It does not matter. You possibly just need one dated every two or even three months. So, of a two year period, any 10-12 documents should be good enough.

Thank you marcnath. My above documents total 10. I think I have confused you by giving the dates the documents cover - eg Bank Statement 15/08/16 to 13/09/16 is one document.
