Could someone please share their experience with regards to notifying change of address details while the application is being reviewed. Thanks

Sorry but it really isn't good news for all long residence applicants. The rules clearly do not permit settlement in these circumstances and the OP's spouse was lucky to get a caseworker who does not understand the rules. It would be unwise for anyone to rely on this example because at some point ...

My wife was granted ILR today and she filled SET(O). So no matter what the rules say, end of the day it all depends on your individual circumstances.

Seems that the settlement ops team is giving consistent reply to people in similar situation. However, the staff at home office immigration enquiry seem to be clueless about this rule. If I was to book an appointment for SET(O) lets say and get my wife to take both forms (SET(O) and FLR(M)) with ...
