I've had a successful result this week, so wanted to give back and share my documentation list, as I know that's usually the biggest concern:
Proof of Application- Applicant's passport.
- Signed sponsor's declaration/consent form (part of online application).
- Life in the UK Test (if code not earlier uploaded in application)
Residence in the UK- 7 items of mail in each name dated every 5 months going back 2.5 years (from at least 3 different sources). Either named together or within the same calendar month. Note that there's a few examples you may not have thought of here like our NHS Vaccination letters or invoices from Amazon to fill in months where we didn't have something in both our names.
