Clarification on Documents needed for Set (O) ILR application - Dependent

Hello,

I am applying for my ILR and filling in the Set (O) application form as a dependant to my wife who applied for naturalisation last year and British citizenship this year successfully. My journey to ILR started on May 2015 with an extension on my Tier 2 Dependent visa on July 2019 till July 2022.

While submitting the application, the document list states that I need to submit:
  • The passport issued by India for Mr royboy
    • Consent form for the Home Office to request verification checks on <my wife> for joint accounts or third party support
    • Evidence of Mr royboy's immigration status in the UK
    • Declaration signed by <my wife> to confirm consent for the Home Office to request verification checks
      Current Biometric Residence Permit for Mr royboy
    • All previous passports, travel documents or national identity cards that you have used to travel to or remain in the UK

      Am i doing this right????

      No documents concerning my employment letter, absences from UK, proof of funds either from me or my wife. Do I need a letter from my employer regarding proof of absence? I am in middle of jobs. Please advise.

      Appreciate any insights please

      Regards
      royboy

The PBS dependants do NOT have any employment requirement for ILR. You simply need two years of cohabitation evidence

Thanks. Few other questions:
  • My last leave was granted in July 2019. Does that mean my leave of absences must start from July 2019 or 11 Jan 2018?
  • Do i need to show and prove leave of absences from my employer as well? They have just asked for my previous passports. I was hoping to submit an excel spreadsheet with all my passports till date. [/list}

Absence from date of visa grant in 2019 only.
  • Do i need to show and prove leave of absences from my employer as well? They have just asked for my previous passports. I was hoping to submit an excel spreadsheet with all my passports till date. [/list}
No, you do NOT need an employer letter. Your employment is irrelevant to your ILR as a pbs dependent. You need to upload your passport copies, bio page and stamped pages.
