Hello all. I've been a bit of an idiot when it comes to this visa renewal and I did not keep documents from the 2018/2019 financial year. I have been able to get copies of this from places like United Utilities and Wigan Council but none of them are true matches of the originals. I have been able to get supporting letters from these institutions to say that they are authentic copies etc. will this be sufficient? I saw some guidance documentation that said ALL DOCUMENTS MUST BE ORIGINALS. It says that copies, with cover letters, MAY be accepted but that this is unlikely without a valid reason. I doubt they will accept that the originals were just lost. So far I have the following documents to support the co-habitation requirement:
GP registration letter from 2017 (original) for my wife.
Joint bank account for me and my wife (copy as all bills generated online but will be stamped by bank)
Tenancy agreement x3 in the name of me and my wife (copies as originals kept in letting agent office, cover letter in hand from letting agent explaining this)
Council Tax bill for 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 in wife and my name (copies but with cover letter from council).
Gas/electric bills in my name (copies as bills generated online only with cover letter from firm explaining this).
Council tax bill for 2018/2019 period in both our names(original)
Water bills in both our names (mix of copies which are identical to original but with huge "COPY" watermark running through them along with cover letter, and original bills)
Is this going to be sufficient? As you can see I have some stuff from 2017 and 2019 which are originals and "allowed copies" which are only generated online, but 2018 is a bit thin on any credible documents, except for 2 tenancy agreements, which should be accepted as originals are kept with letting agent.
