Student Visa - 08 - 08
It is usually helpful to state the complete date.

On what date did you originally ENTER the UK that you are basing your 10 years ILR on??

You need to submit the documents asked for in the form, it is clearly stated what is required.

I was filling the SET LR form. Got a few doubts which I hope you guys will be able to help with.

D3. absences from the uk
all of my trips are to pakistan, to visit family
- in one trip i visited 2 countries, pakistan and saudi arabia?
for eg. the total trip was 1 jan - 31 jan but i went to saudi from 10 jan - 17 jan, without coming back to uk. should i mention this sub-trip as well?

D13. ties you have
country i was born - family lives there
country i have lived for 5 years or more - uk - friends, colleagues, social circle,

any suggestions on what more i can add on this to make it stronger?


for documents,
i am not including bank statement or payslips but i will keep them with me, just in case.
i have printed out all airline tickets for the past 10 years just in case. i have made a travel summary sheet which i will attach.

i have also Typed the application form rather than filling it by hand. i hope thats okay.

is it a good idea to add a file summary sheet on top of the file for eg.

1. application form
2. passport
3. .....

looking forward for your help.

thank you in advance all. :)

Alhamdullilah. I have a good news.
Been on this forum and an everyday reader. Been following all of your stories and was happy every time I saw a success story. Now here is my story.

1. Category: SET LR
2. Number of dependents: 0
3. Total cost: £2887.00
4. PEO branch: Croydon
5. Documents provided:
  • SET LR Form – Typed on computer, Black INK
    - All passports covering duration
    - LIUK Pass Certificate
    - UK Degree
    - Visa and travel summary outlining all travel and visas got during this time
    - Uni Letter (On Request)

6. Absences more than 180 days in any of the qualifying years: No
7. Any Additional Comments.

Booked the appointment 42 days in advance. Made and took a file but it was not allowed by the Data Entry admins so make sure you don’t spend too much time and resources in making a file, even document folders or paper clips were not allowed. Booking time was 09.30am but I was allowed in at 8.30am, very happy. As suggested by others, airport style security, absolutely wonderful and friendly staff, didn’t feel I was in Home Office. By 09.30am biometrics was done and I was waiting for decision. After some time I got 3 calls on my mobile which I missed, ha. But then my name was called out, but it was not the answer but a letter from uni was asked, which was with me and provided. 1pm, ticket number called again, and it was the news which gave me shivers, I was told that the application was accepted, was very happy.

My advise, don’t give all documents, just give what is asked but keep all documents. I had all documents but I did not give all extra documents, just what they wanted. Make your and their life simple.

Called my mum dad and we all cried. It is a relief, thank you all on this forum, namely makky, thank you for your guidance and moral support, :D

Now I don't know what to do next. It's got a bit boring to be honest :lol: :lol:
