ILR (M) Cat d documents

Hi,

I am applying for my wife ILR(M) application on the bases of 5 year route. I have saving over 50K from over 6 months now as I want to use this catagory to prove financial requirements, please can someone confirm below documents are enough to fulfil the requirements?

1. Sponsor saving Declaration Letter
2. 6 Month UK Personal Bank statement

Do I need to provide any other proof apart from above documents.

Also in terms of providing Cohabitation proof I've most of the letters on my name and very few letters on wife name but its not as evenly divided and most of them are from 2 sources her bank account and NHS letters, so what should be the best alternative to this? Apart from that we have council letters on joint names, please can someone suggest what we need to do in this situation?

The savings have to be in the applicant's and/or sponsor's name, and nobody else's.  You must show evidence that you/your sponsor had the savings for six FULL months (not a day less), so provide six FULL months of bank statements.  Then in the application it will ask the source of the funds, and you will give a basic statement, like, "inheritance" or "savings from wages", or whatever the source was.  Cat D financial is really easy.

As for the correspondence evidence, I don't know if it's 2  years or 2.5 years, but you need a total of between six (jointly-addressed) to twelve (individually-addressed) items sent to you and your sponsor over the time.  Between those six to twelve documents all but two can be from the same source, and then one from a second source, and one from a third source.   So, like:

Sep 2019 - electricity bill, joint
Jan 2020 - electricity bill, joint
May 2020 - Council tax, joint
Sep 2020 - NHS letter, you; bank statement, sponsor
Jan 2021 - electricity bill, joint
May 2021 - electricity bill, joint

would work (apart from the actual dates, because I don't know if ILR is 2 years or 2.5 years).  The important thing is that there's something (either shared between you, or you each have your own document) for each of you at each date.

Thanks actually the dates are as below and as per my calculation my wife qualify for ILR applicaiton but if you could also check as per date below would give me move confidence. thanks.

As your wife entered the UK on a spouse visa on September 15th 2016, she is already eligible* to apply for ILR as she is within 28 days of her 5 year aniversary.
*Assuming all the other requirements are met. Has she passed her life in the UK test?

5:- after online applicaiton submission specially as super priority when you upload your documnet and submit before your bio appointment specially when BIO appointment is 2 weeks away does Home office actually start working on your case or it will be taken in to consideration after bio appointment? remember if i upload and commit submit the doc

1.  Council tax statement/bill is fine
2.  Mortgage statement fine
3.  Kids birth certificates or copy of their passport fine
4.  Nope, just the signed declaration
5.  No, they don't do anything until they have all the documentation in hand after biometrics.  They are usually pretty good at the 24 hour turn around when it's offered (it is sometimes offered, sometimes not during covid).
