Just read that it should be space evenly over the course of the whole visa, so now thinking of also replacing the Dec 2018 with Oct 2018 docs and the Sep 2018 docs with April 2017 docs to bring it all back a bit further. Thoughts?
And to confirm I will need:
> payslips for the past 6 months
> bank statements for the past 6 months showing the pay and stamped by the bank on each page
> letter from employer confirming contract and salary
> latest p60 (optional, but I have it so why not)
> marriage certificate
> now we've lived in 3 different flats over the course of the past 2.5 years, do. I just show the land registry for the latest flat, or do I need to also include the tenancy agreements of the last two?
And that should be it, right?!
For the payslips, you want to be sure you have six FULL months, as reflected on the dates printed on the payslips. So if they only show the pay date, and not the date of the start of the pay period, you'll need one from before the start of the six months to give a start date to count from. Also, the most recent payslip must be dated within 28 days before you submit your application. (TL;DR: You might need one extra payslip.)
For the bank statements, make sure they span at least
the same six FULL months that the payslips cover, and that all of the wages you're relying on are shown being depositing in.
For
accommodation, you show the land registry if you own your current place, or the tenancy agreement if you're renting your current place. You do not need the documents for the previous addresses.
However, for
relationship evidence, you
do need the six to twelve items of correspondence addressed to you and your partner, spread evenly over the time, and sent to the same address as each other for each point in time. For example, a bank statement for you and a NHS letter for your partner from January 2018, sent to your first residence. It shows that you both lived at that address at the same time. And then a joint water bill from May 2018, sent to your second residence. Etc., until you have six points of time with things addressed to both of you at the same address.
