ROR: Documents to Prove We Lived Together?

[pessoam]

Hey all, I was hoping you could help me. Here's my situation:

1. We met in 2008 and got married April 2013. I received my RC in May/2013 valid until June/2018.
2. We are about to start divorce proceedings and I intend to apply for ROR after decree absolute is issued.
3. My husband has always worked and we have his P60 since 2004, plus contract and payslips from current employment.
4. I work full-time.
5. We lived together for 19 months after the wedding.

My question: I only have a few original correspondences in my name covering the whole period we lived together (mainly payslips), as all my bills/statements are online. I've contacted AMEX and they've sent me my statements with old address which is great but HSBC said they can't help with that.

Am I allowed to send bank statements and bills downloaded from the internet?
Is there a minimum of docs to send to prove we lived together?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Milenna

Hi,

1. Anything to proof your relationship during the period you both stayed together should be fine in both names.

2. Regarding the copy of your bills if that's online you will be fine. But for the bank statements after printing you need to take it to the bank and ask the input their stamp on them very important.

3. Your own work history is purely irrelevant from the date of your marriage. But it will important from the date absolute is issued till either you apply for ROR or you wait till the end of your RC and go for PR.

That's all you need to succeed for both option and make your application simple when Pilling up documents.

Good luck.

Thanks a lot for replying.

I am glad to hear online bills will be fine, I am sure HO appreciates that it's all online these days.

As for the bank statements, HSBC already said they can't stamp it for me. I'll try going into a branch but not keeping my hopes up there.

One more question: does HO requires a minimum of documents to prove cohabitation?

Thanks again,
Milenna
