Hi all,

I am American and have been married to my Belgian husband since 2012.

I will apply for PR in 2017, and thought it would be best to sort out the documentation that is needed to prove that I have been resident in the UK for five continuous years.

Stupidly enough, I threw out a lot of documentation from 2012 and 2013 when we moved houses - and don't have any proof that I've lived in the UK by way of utility bills, lease agreements, council tax, water bills, etc. For those years, I do have bank statements however, and my prior company is writing a letter to show that I was employed for those years. My bank statements also reflect my monthly salary going into that account.

Is this sufficient enough proof for 2012 and 2013? From 2014, I have more than enough documentation showing my proof of residence here.

Thank you!

Letters from past employer/s may be adequate.
Also any past years' P60 tax forms (which imply residence due to employment).
