Thank you all for responding to my post. The only reason why I am asking is because on application form SET M, section 9 on page 13 it ask's for Biometrics Residence Permit if issued. I just wondered is I had missed out on something after I entered the country on my "Spouse Visa". I guess when I put ...

Hi All... Just wondering if someone could tell me if; When applying for ILR (Form SET 'M'), do I need to apply for the ICFN card and do biometrics before submitting my application for ILR? I have read the relevent pages on the UK border Agency website and it says that I need to apply for an ICFN but ...
Sushdmetha; Thanks very much for your response. Though I am not sure what the difference is between forms Set 'M' & 'FLR M' Apart from this you also have the Biometrics form 'FLR (BID)'. So can anyone tell me what the difference is between these forms and which needs to be applied for first. Thanks.
Hi All, I live in the UK with my wife on a marriage visa (Spouse visa). I obtained the visa in Abu Dhabi and entered the UK three weeks after it was issued. My two years will be up in June of next year. Could someone please tell me, if I need to apply using form set 'M'..? I also understand I need ...
Also can someone confirm that I am understanding this right. After the ILR is issued and nearer to the time of expiry I can then apply for citizenship?? Is this right.?
Hi Khan Saab, Currently I still work outside the UK. A good estimate of time spent in the UK would probably be about 60% in the UK and 40% out of the UK. I have not done the 'Life in the UK test" yet but will be doing it sometime soon as I understand I will need this for my application to extend my ...

I would like to know in what case would one be legible for applying ...
