Child under 18 years of age can be included on main applicants Se(O) form.
When in 2012 did your son get his visa and arrive in the UK?
What is your visa status?

Thanks for replay
Sorry I was wrong about the year,My son got his visa in October 2013 as tier 2 child
Do I need to proof funds for him? If yes how much?
The SET(O) I can't apply with it
Because I will apply for ILR based on 10 years lawful here
Or can I still use this form based on my situation
Do you know which form should I get for me and my son
Thanks

It really is always helpful if people state in the first post on what basis they are applying for ILR.
No, you cannot use Set(O) for him. He will need to switch to FLR(M) and it is a new 5 year route to ILR.
The rules regarding PBS dependents of ILR long residence applicants changed in April last year.
You mention it is your husband applying for ILR. Can you clarify what your visa status is as I have already asked?

me and my husband came to UK August 2004 as tourist
then we came back in march 2006 with student visa from then on we never stayed illegally
Because we have 10 years now I thought we could apply for ILR based on long residence
however I just read is has to be 10 years lawfully
does the first date we came count? even though the first time is not a enter to leave or remain.
my visa status is tier 2 ministry of religion
my husband is on tier 2 dependent.
I read about extension of stay based on long residence is this apply to us?

The gap between leaving the UK on your visitor visa and returning on your Student visa exceeds the limit of 180 days absence and therefore you have broken the continuous residence period. You will be eligible for ILR based on long residency in March 2016.
You have been advised appropriately in the ILR forum.
You have asked the same question in Tier 1, ILR and in the British Citizenship forum. Please only post in the relevant forum (ILR) as multiple posts are confusing

It appears you would only qualify on the basis of 10 years residence in 2016.
To qualify for 5 years residence, your PSW & Student visa cannot be included as a combined time.
Can you get an extension for your current Tier 2 visa to get you to the 10 year residence qualifying period next year?

Will you be applying using SET (LR)? Your dependent cannot continue on their present visa if you apply using SET (LR). If they are eligible for 10 year long residence, they can apply with their own SET (LR) application.

Hi
I am on tier 2 minister of religion. In March 2016 I will have 10 years in the country.I have my husband as my dependent who has the same time as me.
He has a son as his dependent ( he is not my son also he is 16 and come to UK in 2012)
Also in 2012 I had a baby

What do we need to apply for ILR?
Which form?

Also can you advise me this year home office lost my first passport which have the date I came in
Kind regards

I've
merged your topics together.
You and husband may apply for separate
SET(LR) when eligible.
After you and husband are granted ILR:
Try using the
settlement selection tool and use what it suggests for husband's son.
Register your uk-born daughter.

Hi,
Thanks for your replay
When we ( me and husband) apply
Do we send the children form at the same time ?
Or do we apply first and then to children?
If we apply first, what is going to be children's visa status
does their stay illegal?
Which form should I apply for my son?
Is the MN1 or the T?
Thanks a lot
Karol

It may best best if everyone (who needs to) applies in-person before expiry of leave.
Else, you could send the child's SET(F) application(s) at the same time as your SET(LR) appications. Request that they consider the child's application(s) after both parents' SET(LR) applications.
UK-born daughter entitled to register on form MN1 under section 1(3) directly (without having to apply for ILR) after a parent is granted ILR.

Hi,
I am the main applicant, on tier 2 as minister of religion.
In March 2016 me and my will be eligible for ILR based on 10 years.our current visa expire in April 2017
My husband who is on tier 2 as dependent has his son of 16 years, joined him on October 2013( he is current as dependent of his father and his visa expire on April 2017)
As we are going to apply for ILR in March 2016.
So I was advised to apply Based on settlement of family settled in UK. Based on this form he needs to send his father proof of settled, so I guess we need to apply for our ILR first then apply for him
Is that right?
Or
Do we send the form at the same time of ours?
Do we need to have proof of maintenance? If yes how much? How long?
If we apply first, what is going to be my stepson's visa status
does he stay illegal?
I am completely lost on this situation
Thanks a lot
Karol

He applies on form FLR(M) as soon as his father is granted ILR and receives his BRP card.
His father needs to meet the financial requirement of £18,600pa. He will have to pay the £500 immigration health surcharge for the application in addition to the visa fee. FLR(M) an be applied for in person or by post.
His current visa should be fine until the decision on FLR(M) is granted.

I got confused about the form that my step son should fill FLR(M)
Because it says "Complete this form only if you are applying for leave to remain in one of the following categories:
• Family life as the partner of a person present and settled in the UK (2 year route)
• Family life as the partner of a person present and settled in the UK (5 year route)
• Family life as the partner of a person with refugee leave or a person with humanitarian protection (5 year route)"
We are not in any of this category
Should we still use this form?
Thanks
