Hi All,

I am British citizen,which I recently acquired in August 2013. Now it's time for my partner to get her's indefinite.

Partner first visa (Tier 1 dependent) issued till 29-June-2012. She entered UK on 11 DEC 2011. I applied for my ILR in June she also applied on FLR(M) form and was given extension till 06-06-14.
I believe she is eligible to apply for ILR ???
is SET M the correct form for this application. ?.

Yes.

Many thanks for the reply, please confirm if I need to send the marriage certificate as well. When my partner was granted her first leave to enter to UK as Tier 1 dependent she showed marriage certificate. When she was given extension under FLR (M) she provided it as well.Now for ILR do we need to provide it again??

Yes you'll need to include the marriage certificate for SET(M) as well as all the other supporting documents as listed in the form (click). I.e. Cohabitation proof.

and proof of 18600 income for couple without kid, etc etc.

No mycanal1 you are incorrect there is no financial requirement as the OP's spouse will have transitional protection and this be evaluated under Part 8 of the immigration rules not Annex FM by virtue of rule 287(a)(i)(d).

Another question. My payslips are online, so just the print out would be okay or is it mandatory for payslips to be attested.

Online print outs should be ok providing you have the corresponding bank statements, 3 months of both.

Amber, quick question, my wife has been student dependent since nov 2005 till Aug2012, we applied for Psw on april 2012 and got psw on Aug2012 till Aug 2014. so do we qualify for pre July 2012 conditions e.g no income of £18600, and can apply set(M) immediately after flr(m) using her time spent as psw dependent.

Yes, it would appear so.

Your case is quite similar to ours, I got first visa (Tier 1 General Partner) in June 2011 till Jan 2013 and came to UK in July 2011. My husband got ILR in Jan 2013 and I applied for FLR(M) in Jan 2013 and got visa in April 2013 till October 2015 (i.e. for 2.5 years). On BRP the visa type is stated as SPOUSE/PARTNER.
It appears in your case the visa given is for 1 year from June 2013 to June 2014! Don't know why it is 2.5 years and 1 year.
I already applied on SET(M) and awaiting.
