For SET LR application you just need to submit following documents and no driving license, no payslips.no P60 or bank statements.jigars143 wrote:Dear Members
A question which I posted before but did not get any answer to it.
If I have a Driving Licence registered at a different address will this be a problem when i will apply for ILR?
And is it necessary to provide P60 for all 10 years, I have couple missing, will this be a problem?
And lastly, Do I need to submit bank statement with my documents or is this not necessary, my account is overdrawn for a while now and think that it will make a negative impression if I send it.
I will appreciate your help guys.
Thanks

Thank you for your detailed reply. I got my last extension in jan 2011 and on biometric card it says
PBS-Dependent. So I think I have to use FLR (fp). Correct me if I m wrong.
Second thing is that in our last extension we applied visa for our new born son as well along with other three members as I have to travel abroad for one month. Should I still not apply for uk born child with us?
Get ready for more question after this. thanks

my husband is applying set(LR) next month. i am also applying with him. i came in UK in jan 2010 as a tier 4 student dependent. i hav 2 children. one born in pakistan, other born in uk. both attending school and are under 10 years. i m working with 15000/year income and also passed A1 certificate from trinity college. i might need help at every step of application but before that i have few basic questions.
1) what application form should i use FLR(M) or FLR(FP)? one solicitor advised me i should use FLR(M) as i do not need to full fill financial req.( came in 2010 as dependent). while other solicitor said FLr(FP) as i have to meet financial requirements (april 2014 rules apply).
Welcome the forum ,
we will be more then happy to help you at every step as much as we can
Feel free to ask any question ,
Regarding the application form :- According to the home office guidance on FLR(M) Guidance Notes (Version 08/2014) - Page 8
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _08-14.pdf
You must meet the financial requirement
You need to meet the financial requirement if you made your first application to enter or
remain here as a partner after 9th July 2012, or if your last leave was granted as a partner of a
Relevant Points Based system migrant.
So you entered in UK before 9th july 2012 and you didn't extended your visa under pbs after that so you should not have to show the requirement of income threshold so you AND your son who born in Pakistan can apply for FLR(M)
OR
If your last leave was granted as partner of point base system then you have to show the minimum income threshold
so check your visa when u had your last extension and was it through point base system ..(.i guess it should be through point base system ) then you and your son who born in Pakistan has to fill FLR(FP) if you are not meeting the criteria of minimum income threshold which in your case £22400 , if you are meeting the criteria then you should apply flr(m)
The OR in the condition need to understand, according to my understanding although you coming before 9th july 2012 but if you had your current leave to remain under point base system then you should have to meet the income criteria
well
so still if it is confusing call home office and seek advice from them atleast to have an idea
key point you have to keep in mind at the time of application :-
As you said you are also applying with your husband , seems both visas are expiring same date , well you have to write a covering letter with your application that main applicant ( husband ) visa is also under process with you so they have to hold your file until your husband visa will be granted ,
You must aware of the APRIL 2014 rules wether you came here in this country before 9th july 2014 or after if you are applying through flr(m) then your and you son clock starts for ilr the day you will get your flr(m) visa and you have to wait for 5 years to eligible for ILR .
In case of flr(fP) , they will grant you 2 years visa first and your clock for the ilr will not start under this visa and then make sure you get the income criteria done as soon as you can ( you can add your husband income as well) then you apply flr(m) as soon as possible in order to start your clock of ILR which will be ( 2.5 yrs + 2.5 yrs= ILR eligible )
Your beloved son who born here don't need to apply with you under flr(m) or flr(fp) straight away he can apply as MN(1) after your husband granted ILR because he born here ..
English test requirement is perfectly fine , it is as per as rule
BEST OF LUCK
Hope its helps ,
if any one has got different opinion or suggestion please share here if possible with the links

Once you complete your full 10 years you can vary your current application against the SET LR application and apply for your wife visa extension through FLR M application at the same time and mention in your covering letter to hold your wife application until your SET LR application is decided. HO will hold it and once you get your ILR your wife will also get 2.5 yrs or extension subject to the requirements that you must have to fulfill for both your SET LR and your partner FLR M applications.meghankit wrote:dear friends,
i really hope someone here knows answer to this question
i know that it has been asked in the forum before but i can not find the detail answer to it.
the question is as follows:
i have to apply for ILR on the basis of 10yrs in NOV14
the problem is that mine and my wife's visa runs out at the same time, so how should i go about it
i mean do i need to apply for different visa for my wife or i can apply FLR(M) at the same time as mine?
also does anyone knows what happens if you switch outstanding application i.e. i have applied for student visa but before my
biometric comes i will be eligible for ILR. will it be easy to switch application?
regards
Sorry I didnt notice that you have already applied for yourself using SET LR application. If you were on PBS that lead to 5 year settlement like Tier 1/2 general than you were able to apply for yourself and your dependent ILR for 5 yrs in 2016. Since you havealready applied for ILR through SET LR and you were previously on student which is non settlement route. Therefore, you have got no option left except you apply for your wife FLR M application and wait for 5 yrs to get her ILR. Since your wife joined you prior to July 2012 so you will only need to show maintenance funds only and not £18600 a yr threshold.ronzie wrote:Arsal385 wrote:
Hello S Akram Vi,
Thanks for your reply.
My wife visa will ending next month. I am little bit confused as you said regarding Flr(M) & Flr(FP). I spoke to one solicitor this week and he advice me she only need to meet English requirements but as transitional period £18600 waved as she came as a spouse since 2011 and can apply flr(m) but i want to confirm before applying as don't want to pay twice to HO and any trouble. Also during last 3 years we need to extend 2 times and she granted spouse as a PBS dependant in both occasion. Also the solicitor advice me she can apply ILR after her 5 year period which is 2016.
What do you advice me? your details advice is much appreciated.
ThanksThanks Brother Arsal.There are two points worth noted in your queries.
It is true for all those who arrived in the UK prior to 9 July 2012 will just need to show maintenance funds for the last 3 months rather than 18.6K salary threshold in their FLR (M) application.
However, If you want your spouse to be eligible for ILR in 2016 then you must extend her stay using PBS dependent form and apply your extension through PBS application and not by using FLR (M) and SET (LR) for yourself. it is because anyone who is using FLR (M) application will get their previous stay disallowed and their time starts when they get their visa through FLR (M).
As you mention on PBS Dependant how will i apply basis on 5 years as i already applied for ILR basis on 10 years long residency and my wife need to apply by next few weeks. If my wife apply for FLR (FP) it will complete her 5 years in mid 2016 (if 2 years visa issue). Is there any chance that way. Also we have a child who is born in here. as S Akaram brother shared the link where says 5 year route on children basis is it possible? if yes, Any idea how they calculate on FLR (FP). As i will register my child via MN1 after my ILR.
Please advice
Thanks

I am not agreed here with Arsal on the forms option ....Yes ARsal is right that as she came here before 9th july 2012 then don't need to show the income threshold , HO rules are very much clear about it however happy to here that if still some thing there to wave the £18600 i am personally interested in it
link :-https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _08-14.pdf
an extract on information on page 8 :-
d) You must meet the financial requirement
You need to meet the financial requirement if you made your first application to enter or
remain here as a partner after 9th July 2012, or if your last leave was granted as a partner of a
Relevant Points Based system migrant
My Apologies i have missed the date your wife arrived ...
see the version of the link above its 08/2014 so you can apply for FLR(M) and you not suppose to go for flr(fP) because you don't need to show threshold income but applying through pbs dependant system is not correct and her clock will start for ilr after spending 5 years as your dependant ...( debateable )
Time and again this question become the FAQ and Dr Shahjee also cleared this to again and again so here let me link you that page on this forum where he mentioned about transational period time which was only effective before 6th April 2014 ..page number is 834 and the extract of his post :-
Hi KA941,
Well unfortunately you are right, the rules regards to the dependents of People who got ILR through 10 years long residency, have changed since April 2014. There is no straight applications for ILR for them, they have to apply first to convert their status to that of dependents of a settled person i.e YOU, through application form FLR(M), income And maintenance requirements apply on that.
Any dependents who will apply as dependents of settled person through Long residency, their time to qualify will start again from scratch, the clock goes back to zero for them,any time that's hey have spend in the country already is null and void. They have to start a new qualifying period and that starts from the date they get their initial grant of FLR(M) for 2.5 years, that is extendable for another 2.5 years to take them to a total of 5 years to qualify them for the ILR through SET(M).
Regards to pre July 2012 dependents, the transitional arrangements were there for any of them if they would have applied their FLR(m) before 6th April 2014, as that date is gone, hence any pre July 2012 PBS dependents have lost their claim on the transitional arrangements.
I am really sorry again that there is no many positives for you in the situation, but what is important is for you to get your ILR sorted and although the dependents might take a bit longer but at least you are guaranteed that they will be sorted eventually.
All the best with your future application
According to my understanding shahjee is right but if there are still some misunderstanding kindly share it here ...
And not only the above post but there are so many other post where some one has shared the link related to this issue as well before ...
shahjee: hope you will forgive me for your copy act right;) but i know you will be more delighted that your post is ever blue but in essence is the golden words
Still , if you and any other members on this forum found any thing different please share here , i never mean mine , shahjee and all other members suggestion or understanding is the only right option or suggestion ...so welcome all post
regarding any update of (ILR , VISAS ) are welcome ...we can argue on it ,...we may have differences but by doing so the members who is actually seeking for some thing will atleast get an idea what other options are still available and what will be longer , shorter route to solve any problem or some of the rules are no more valid and solicitors are misguiding you regarding it .....
My humble apologies to all members if they have got totally different opinion in this regard ..please share more things with the links where ever possible .....
Transitional period , PBS depandant system is still very confusing ....
Looking forward to your reply ,
Regards ,

I think you should have sent the version 07/14 on 22nd sept but did you fill up the payment section properly specially ticked the amount £1093 in A1. It clearly says if you don't tick it they wont be able to take payment from your card and your application will be rejected.[/quote]ashphoenix wrote:@Arsal385
Thanks again for the reply. Do you know how quickly does HO send back application if they can't take payment? Also, is it common for delays in payment processing? It's so confusing and nerve wreckingWish I hadn't made the mistake of sending the wrong version of the application! Has anyone else experienced delays in payment processing when you haven't made a mistake in payment details?
