Discretionary Leave - Can ILR be applied for, which form?

Hi
Filling in SET(M) and will post queries I have as I come across them:

Section 1: Q 1.10: Home Office Reference

Wife has a Home Office Reference which was on the letter to her for her Dicretionary Leave, bu there are more characters than the boxes present on the form. Just write it anyway, hanging outside the boxes?


Section 1: Q 1.12 (BRP Reference Number) / Section 6: Q2.1 (Biometric Residence Permit Number)

I take it these two sections will have the same value filled in.
Is the BRP the physical card (that my wife first received when she extended her initial 6 month fiance visit and got 2 years spouse leave)(which was returned on last application)

or is it the pasted Resident permit in her passport that she received when she was given Discretionary leave?

I assume the latter.

A HO reference number is not really needed, just write it on the cover letter.

I would put the spouse leave reference number and include the other one in the cover letter.

was thinking same - put all extra stuff in teh covering letter and mention the initial Spouse BRP in teh form.

thanks again.

and sent off today, special delivery for next day 1pm, at 1.4Kg (!) of paperwork cost of £12. Finally breath easy - for the time being.

Wanted to future check on the timelines on when wife could apply for citizenship, all going well this time around,

09 Mar Entered as fiance on 6 month visa
09 Sept got 2 year spouse visa to remain
11 Oct Got Discretionary Leave for three years till 14 Nov
13 Oct Applied for ILR

if ILR is approved within 6 months, this takes her to
14 Apr

What is the starting point of her entire leave / or the earliest she can apply for citizenship meeting al other requirements - as even when she was on DL she was still my spouse - does that ime period count?

thx
Frankie

money/fee deducted satisfactorily - there's alway the 'risk' money doesn't go through that they return the application back to you.

Any legal time counts at first instance that would appear to be as soon as she is granted ILR, subject to a B1 English requirement.

BIOMETRIC CARD and all paperwork retunred for Wife today. Wow, Relief.

Took a full 3 months in all and just beat the new English Rules.


THANKS A LOT for the guidance help and encouragement AMBER,
Vinny and others.


Frankie.

Congratulations.
