ILR for Tier1(Genaeral) Migrant & dependents

Hi,
I am a Tier 1 (General) Migrant. I got my Tier 1(General) visa in Sept 2008, but my first entry in UK was May 2009. I am applying for ILR now for me and my dependents(husband & daughter).

1. I would like to know if there is a separate application form for dependents or should I use just one application Set(O)form for all three of us.

2, My husband joined me in April 2011(though he got Tier 1 dependent visa in Sept 2008). He has been in and out of UK. Should he also be in the UK for 5 years to apply for ILR?
I am asking this question because, this year, he has been out of UK from Feb to April and for 6 weeks in July/August .

Please advise.

Thank you

1. One Set(O) for for all of you. Yourself as main applicant and then dependents detail in the dependents section.

2. No, he only needs two years if he came as your dependent before 9th July 2012. You will need to submit 2 years cohabitation documents, spread evenly throughout from at least 4 different sources. His absences should be ok.

Thank you for the response. Regarding my dependent (husband) you mentioned -
" No, he only needs two years if he came as your dependent before 9th July 2012. You will need to submit 2 years cohabitation documents, spread evenly throughout from at least 4 different sources. His absences should be ok."

1. Can you please advise as to what are the 4 documents to submit for this?

Page 62 and 63 or the FLR(M) application (not applicable to you) but has some good examples of cohabitation document examples.
