Co hab docs for my wife Set M application

Post by niazacca » Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:38 am

Hi Can any one pls help with the below

It says we need 6 docs spread over two years.

Will that be okay if to prove year one I have following docs;-

1x council tax bill
1x tv licence
3 months bank statements
one qtr utility bill
one full years mortgage account activity by Natwest sent annually.

And something similar for years two. is this pattern ok??

Also do we need to have copies for all the docs even if we are going in person Solihill B'ham?

No.

At least 3 different sources.
6 documents.
Spread over 2 years. I divided mine into 3 quarters per year, month 1-4, 5-8, 9-12.
So lets say you got 3 different sources, at least.
Source 1 = X (e.g bank statement)
Source 2 = Y (e.g council bill)
Source 3 = Z (e.g water bill)

Year 1 Qtr 1 = X Y
Year 1 Qtr 2 = Z Y
Year 1 Qtr 3 = X Z

Year 2 Qtr 1 = X Y
Year 2 Qtr 2 = Z Y
Year 2 Qtr 3 = X Z

I personally submitted from 11 different sources.

Basically 2 different sources for each qtr.

This can be done in many other ways too, this is just the way I did it.

It doesnt have to be in joint names all along. Say for instance in yr 1 qtr one you dont have any joint named letters, so put one in your name from source X and one in your sponsors name from source Y.

I also attached the envelopes, but most people dont keep envelopes, i do, i dont know why.

And yes photocopy everything, EVERYTHING. Scan it too for your own reference.

Regarding going to solihull or wherever, my advice, dont. Submit by post.

Yes this could be ok just depends on the dates. You need to cover every 4 months either with an official letter in joint names or one each in single names from at least 3 different sources. It's the date on the letter that counts. So roughly every 4 months you need something. You can use the SCS (you get documents back) and they'll send it or use the SCS then go to your peo appointment.
