Spouse achievement

[fpvt2]

For spouse achievement, are the following sufficient to prove your 2 year relationship ?
1. marriage license from 3 years ago
2. birth certificate of a child with address (from 2 years ago)
3. bank statement from the last 2 years with both my name and my spouse's name.

Thank you very much

I you can dig up some other docs e.g. utilities bill, etc that would be perfect.

If we add a credit card statement that are addressed to both of us, but the credit card company is the same bank with our bank (say our bank statement is from bank A, and the credit card company is also bank A), is this ok ?
THanks.

When I talked to the Work Permit UK, I got conflicting answer.
One person told me that the 3 evidence that one need to submit includes the marriage certificate, so if you submit marriage certificate, birth certificate, and bank statements that will be sufficient.

But, I heard from another person that the 3 evidence that needed to prove the 2 year relationship are on top of the marriage certificate. So you will need to provide marriage certificate plus 3 more evidence (like birth certificate, bank statement and credit card statement).

Which one is correct ?
Thanks.

This evidence was not sufficent for my case at least. They ask me to provide utility bills for last 2 years addressing me & my wife. They want all the bills spread over 2 years. I just cannot claim my spouse 10 points.

[fpvt2]

Did you submit bank statements for the last 2 years addressed to you and your wife ? What did you submit to them that they say it was not sufficient ?

Yeah I did submit 2 year joint bank statement. I did submit the following
1> marriage certificate
2> child birth certificate ( more than 2 year old)
3> joint bank statement
4> one credit card statement of her add-on card.

Also some utility bills such as gas . But could not collect all bills that spread over 2 years. That’s what they wanted. I realize that I should have saved all last 2 year old bills.
But never mind I got hsmp clear without getting spouse points on my subsequent try. May be in your case they gave points. Also what matter is the address written on marriage certificate & child certificate etc if are same where u are living now . Also ur bank statement address is same. that will make your case stronger. In my case the addresses in documents were different as i did change my rented houses. The bank statement address was on my office/work place address. May be these different address effect decisions. In case ur address are same ( in most of docs) that will make your case for getting 10 points more stronger . Best of luck

Another option of sending additional document cud be insurance certificate (in joint name & abt 2 yrs old), if you have any or any other saving options documents in the name of your spouse & 2 yrs old BUT the address MUST be the same as that of yours. Since I had submitted the same & had no problem in getting approval
All the best

Dear Simar,
you mentioned that you submit bank statements, are they for each months for the last 2 years ? Also, the one credit card statement that you submitted is it on both names or only on your spouse's name ?

Because of our jobs, we move around practically every 6 months or so. The address on our marriage certificate and birth certificate are different than the current address. Did you mean this will be a problem ? I thought as long as both names are on the document, you can move around.

Thanks.

I also remember I did send my insurance policy too on which my wife is direct beneficiary. But somehow the points were not in my way..


fpvt2,
The credit card as i mention earlier was Add-On card. SO Yes in the credit card statement our both name comes since my wife was just secondary add-on,. The prime person to pay the bills were me. Theoretically speaking this address change should not make any difference. But you know in subjective assement it all depends which case worker sees and how he interprets your docs. That way scoring points in Salary & education is most easy. Since both are objective points. Your degree is recognised by NAIRC that’s it, One will score point. Similarly One have his income on form16 or other income tax document listed above the required limit. One will get the points. But scoring points in work_experince & spouse case is relatively difficult

Dear Simar,
you mentioned that you submit bank statements, are they for each months for the last 2 years or is it only from 1 month ? How about the credit card statements ?

Dear Fpvt2,
In deed I submit 2 year bank statement. The statement was collective computer generated one that I got from the bank by paying extra charge per page.
No I did not submitted last 2 years quarterly free bank statements as I have wrong habit of not taking care of so many docs.

I will suggest you to go ahead & apply with whatever docs you have. God willing you could get points in spouse category.

Dear Simar,
One last question.
You mentioned that your bank statement spread over 2 years, is that the only type of document that you submit that spread over 2 years (you mentioned you only submitted 1 credit card statement)? Maybe they did not give you the point because they would like to see documents from 1 year and another type of document from the other year ? For ex: bank statements from 2004 and credit card statements from 2005 ?
Moderator, do you think that is why they did not give Simar the point ? Because he did submit marriage license + 3 other documents.

The Home office also told me that a child's birth certificate is not included in the list of approved evidence, but it is listed in the caseworker guide from http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ind/en ... dance.html?. Is a child's birth certificate included in the list of approved evidence ?

Thanks.

For the birth certificate to be the evidence it must have an address on it and both names. UK birth certificates are acceptable, others - it depends.
