Hi guys, I've just come across something that's really bugging my mind now. I've applied for Set (LR) on Sept 15, 2014. Just waiting now but I just saw some queries regarding the address in Set (LR) form! Well for B14 and 15, I've put my Home address for B14 where I've been living for a year and half and B15 I've put down my previous address where I lived for one year. Reading the question then, it didn't occur to me that all previous 5 years addresses may be necessary! Now I see some or most of you guys added duplicate page and gave all 5 years addresses. So is that a problem? I mean the question clearly doesn't say to provide addresses for all previous 5 years! I'm a bit apprehensive now. Has anyone experienced this before? Got approved? Please do let me know, I need some peace of mind badly. I applied for my wife's FLR(M) recently and it clearly mentions to give addresses covering past two years but Set (LR) was not clear at all! Worst case scenario will the request for further information or reject the application because of this? My application is hopefully pretty straightforward. Thanks guys.[/quote]

Dear Seniors,
Please help me by giving answers of my following queries:

1. I'm going to apply for ILR in Jan 2015, my last IELTS expired last month, I can remember last year someone in here mentioned UKBA accepts expired IELTS for ILR purposes. Do I need to sit for IELTS again??
2. Do my wife need to sit for IELTS as UKBA will not give her ILR? she has been with me for last 7 years.

Please please let me know. Many Thanks.

Kind Regards,
Tuhin

I think HO can only accepts expired IELTS if they have already accepted it in your previous application. If you have never used it in your previous applications you should give them a new test result.
Yes your wife will also need to show her English test result as a part of her ILR application if she is eligible for ILR at a minimum level of B1 in speaking and listening modules.

@18august2014 did you hear from the HO then or not?

[18august2014]

My view is that you can provide the information in any way as long as it is clear and responding to the information required (i.e. full address and dates). If you are typing the letter, that should be clear enough so repeating the information in three formats is unnecessary and would only slow down caseworkers.

Given that the version of the form has changed since you sent your application, I would simply send the information on white A4 paper or within the letter itself if it fits within the page. Remember to quote the necessary information for the Home Office to track your application (refer to the form guidance notes).

All the best.

Hello.

I agree that the instruction is ambiguous. I had a quick look at the immigration rules (https://www.gov.uk/government/collectio ... tion-rules) but could not find anything directly relevant.

My view is that there is no harm in supplying the additional information and you can do so via a letter to the Home Office. You could then explain that the form was not clear on whether the applicant is required to submit a total of five years of address history or only two sets of addresses as per the space provided on the form. You can perhaps also mention that you are providing this information in good faith in case it is required. Your application may not have reached a caseworker yet and the letter will be on file should they require it.

In my opinion, it is unlikely that your application will be rejected on the basis of lack of supply of information, albeit it may just be delayed whilst they do further checks or contact you. The Home Office would have your previous addresses in any event based on your previous applications.

All the best.

Thanks 18august2014. It certainly soothes the nerves:) I am thinking along the line you've mentioned and currently writing the covering letter. I'll post it tomorrow morning. How do you recommend I provide the addresses? In blank A4 paper? or on that particular page of the application form by duplicating? Which version of the form to use? the one I used originally or the latest version? Actually I'm planning to do all three! Just to be on the safe side. I appreciate you response and other responses and advice welcome as well. All the best with your application.

Hi,

I am filling the application from set(LR). I have came across the situation where both of the address field do not make my five year address history. what shall I do to show the five years address ?

Thanks

Make a copy of the address page in the application form and fill it with your other addresses and leave a note on the secrion that says please give other information in support of your application saying that you have included an extra page of the address section to accommodate your other addresses completing 5 years address history.

It is correct that your dependents will need to apply through FLR (M) since they arrived prior to 9th July 2012 therefore I believe they will need to show maintenance requirements only and not the financial requirements.
Download the latest FLR (M) form and guidance form which will guide you through the whole process. You will also need to show english language requirement for your spouse and cohabiltation documents that you both are living together atleast for the last 2 years. However, once your wife get dependant of settled person visa through FLR (M) form she will need to complete 5 years in the UK first to be eligible for ILR and all her previous stay will be disallowed by HO.

If you kids were born here then you do not need to include them in FLR (M) instead you can register them as a British citizenship.[/quote]

Hello you are right to some extent. Irrespective of when your dependent came to the UK the rules have changed since they were your dependents on Tier 1 which is point base system then you have to meet the financial requirements and english requirements as well.
And all the time spent in the UK resets to zero which means the time for your wife to gain ILR will be 5 years from when she receive her approval for FLRM[/quote]
Agreed with you. everyone has to show financial requirements regardless of their entry in the UK. Cheers

I got my ILR confirmation today.

I sent the application on 20th June 2014 but received the Biometrics Letter on 20th September 2014 which I registered the same day. My 10 years were mix of Student+PSW+Tier1 General.

I am now waiting for the BRP which should not take long.

Thank you all for the wonderful support and sharing. Wish you all the best.

Dear friends,

It seems that my running after the immigration rules is not yet over despite my ILR. I need some help for the dependant visa's financial requirements. My wife and two kids need to apply for the FLR(M) I believe. Could you please help me confirm that this is the right category and what are the financial/maintenance requirements.

They were both granted the last BRP as Tier 1 Dependents. They all became my dependents well before July 2012. My little knowledge and research says that they are eligible for the 2 Years Route and can apply for ILR immediately after getting FLR(M). Am I right? Also, what maintenance/financial requirements will apply to them?

Hope to hear your kind words. Cheers,

Saddy

Hello Saddy,
If your two children were born in the UK, then you need to apply for them using form MN1. You do need any requirements to apply for MN1 as long as you attach
1) Original full UK birthday certificates
2) Photocopy of your ILR approval letter and BRP if available at the time you are making the application
3) Passport photos of your two children attached to the application form with their names and DOB written on the back
4) Two referee to sign the forms.
5) Payment slips for the application

If they were not born in the UK then you need to meet the financial requirements for FLR(M) which is £18,600 for your wife only.If you are including your two children then you will need additional finances as stated in the form. Could I ask you to please check HO website and search for FLRM application form and read the financial requirements section it is quite simple and straightforward.
Hope this helps
