What documents are required for filing an ILR application?

  • Hello folks,

    I am in the process of compiling all the documents needed for my wife's Indefinite Leave to Remain application.

    Does there exist a definitive list of documents needed for this purpose? What I had in mind was following:
    1- My Passport, Full UK Driving Licence, Birth Cert.
    2- Same documents for my wife.
    3- Original land registry ownership documents in my name for our property.
    4- Mortgage statements
    5- My tax returns (I'm self employed).
    6- Her tax returns (she is a partner in business)
    7- Business accounts for last two years.
    8- Our son's birth cert.
    9- Letters in my, her and our son's names.
    10- Utility Bills.

    Anything else that anyone can think of?

    Also, she spent 6-7 weeks out of the country on hols. I was supposed to have joined her for 3-4 weeks but couldn't due to long-term employee sickness at my business. Should I attach the sick notes of that employee with the application to show why I couldn't go and had to cancel my air ticket.

    Is there a letter needed from me saying yes I love her very much - although she doesn't believe me - and I intend to spend rest of my days by her side.

    And lastly, Is sending an application through post preferable or shall I just spend another £200 and be done with it by actually going to the nearest immigration office? any experiences to that effect?

    Shah.
