I barely have anything for my husband - I didn't realize until this year when I started getting my documents together for this application that I was meant to have been collecting his post as well. We haven't kept really any council tax bills and his bank statements are all online. I'm starting to panic... What does one do if you literally just don't have the right documents?
If you can’t provide enough, then you have to write a letter explaining why you don’t have the required evidence.
Let’s have a look to see what you have and see if we can work it out a bit better:
You
March 2017
July 2017
Sept 2017
April 2018
July 2018
Oct 2018
April 2019
Husband
March 2017
Sept 2017
April 2018
Oct 2018
April 2019
So you have:
March 2017
1. You - NHS letter (source 1)
1. Husband - council tax bill (source 2)
(4 months)
July 2017
2. You - bank statement (source 3)
2. husband - ?
(2 months)
Sep 2017
3. Joint - council tax
(7 months)
April 2018
4. Joint Council tax
(6 months)
Oct 2018
5. Joint water bill (source 4)
(6 months)
April 2019
6. Joint council tax
While these do not meet the requirements of being evenly-spaced over the 2 years (which is every 4 months), you do have 4 sources and you have 6 documents for you and 5 for him.
So, you could send the ones I’ve listed above and also include an explanation for why they are not 4 months apart and why you don’t have 6 for him.
Alternatively, you can see if you can find anything else at all you can use.
How about:
- TV licence
- phone bills
- electricity bills
- HMRC letters
- P60s/payslips with your address on
- tenancy agreements
- building society books
- letters from DVLA
- any other letters from anything at all.
Also, from now on, if you haven’t already, turn OFF paperless for everything and make sure you save every item of mail you both receive for the next 2.5 years. Don’t throw anything away.
The whole point of you collecting mail was to show that you received mail at the same address as him... which means you need his mail too, to show you were both living in the same house at the same time. Otherwise all you are showing is that you were living alone... which doesn’t meet the visa requirements (which are that you have been living together).
