1.Do I need to send the verification consent form by post or just upload at sopra steria appointment???

2.in regards to my immigration problems page I was refused entry in a country twice due to my previous overstay which I clearly mentioned in the application....would this create an issue??

Uploading the signed copy of consent form will be more than enough as I recall Sopra Steria employee told me that you are not obliged to submit that form with your application, however this clearly mentioned in the ILR application guidelines that you should send it.

And as long as you mentioned your previous immigration issues you should also be safe.

Thanks for the response...true, consent form is mentioned as one of the mandatory form to be. Submitted with the application....so do you think sopra steria will scan it and upload for me if I ask them to(I ve chosen that service)??

They would do it for you but I think they going to charge you fees for that, if you haven’t done it in first place(uploading) before bio appointment.

Hi guys,
I had applied for my ILR - SET (P) in beginning of May 2019 and I'm still waiting for ILR.

Applied for ILR Route : SET(P)
Date application sent : 02-05-2019
Document received by HO : Online
Ack letter received (if applicable) : Email received on 03-05-2019
Biometric Letter received : Email received on 05-05-2019
Date Biometrics Enrolled : 23-05-2019
Payment Debited : NA
Approval/Refusal Received : Still waiting
BRP Card Received : Still waiting

Today 6 months have been completed, no update received yet. I've contacted HO over the phone, the person at call centre said there is no service standard for SET (P) applications however I should have received within SIX months. They've asked me to write a letter to UKVI asking for update. So.......... I'm going to write a letter now.

Update:
I was just about to write a letter today but received letter from HO, saying they aim to process all applications within 6 months but my application has caused some complexity and that they'll process it within 3 more months. (new date given 01 Feb 2020)
So... God willing I shall now wait another 3 months.

Lovelife

I’m not sure. But for employers they will need to go on gov.uk website to use employee checking service so they can get a notification from home office allowing the employee to work while application in progress. It’s an online form which says start now at the beginning. I didn’t see Anything What you’ve explained on that page.

Employer will need to wait for home office’s reply which takes 5 working days I think.

The home office will send a notification to the employer, allowing the employee to work for 6 months. When 6 months about to finish then the employer will need to re-do the right to work check.

Hi all,
Hope you are well.
I am applying for ILR shortly as a straight forward single applicant. Just wondering if I should do it myself or through the solicitor ?
I just had a look at the application form, SET (P) form, is there a need for cover letter ?

I have also found these 2 questions weird, I have my parents living back home so not sure what to answer to them:

- Do you have any friends in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years?

- Are you part of any social groups or do you have other cultural ties in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years?

I would appreciate if someone could help
Thanks

Cover letter is not necessary....just keep it simple,nothing more and nothing less. I was in the same situation as u with that 2 questions...answer honestly...
Just mention their name relation to you and how do you stay in contact with them...

And for the second question I answered I was never a part of any groups since I never had the opportunity...except for some online social groups.


Hope this helps...

If you don't mind me. Asking...which country r u from and when is ur leave expiring??

You should not apply until you qualify to apply and that is no sooner than within 30 days before your leave to remain expires.

I m a bit worried now....I applied 5 days earlier....I read somewhere it's ok as long as it's within 1-3 months before the leave expires....except they ll mark it to be processed during the last month....

It is alright, I submitted my online application on 06/08/2019 while my leave expires on 17/09/2019. Therefore it should be ok the only concern could lie ahead is your application delay for more than three months.
