If she holds a PBS Dependent visa for 5 years, she applies for ILR on form SET(O) and NOT form SET(M).My wife visa is expiring in a week as she could not manage life in uk test .Now we have sorted eveything but it is confusing about which form to fill in .
I was having five year company work permit .I got my ILR and British citizenship. So my wife is due for ILR which form she should be using FL(O) or FL (M).
Can you please post the dates of the applications she made and the form used? A 2 year visa suggests it was an application made BEFORE 9th July 2012. Or do you mean a '2.5 year visa'.I became British citizen in mean time and then she got 2 years extension as partner of British citizen.
SET(O). She could have applied for ILR at any time after your ILR!786stranger wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 10:23 amHer first three visa was from Morocco and It was spouse visa as spouse of work permit holder (old 5 year work permit scheme).
I became British citizen in mean time and then she got 2 years extension as partner of British citizen.
Now ILR is due for based on 5 years staying as partner so we are applying for her ILR .
Note: I was British citizen when her current 2 years visa was extended.
I guess I was never on PBS scheme. It was old 5 years company work permit scheme and I did not change my employer.

If she applied for FLR(M) after 9th July 2012, she needs 5 years residence on FLR(M) before she can apply for ILR. Time spent on her work permit dependent visa does not count. Again, exact dates are useful, especially if she has been in the UK for almost 10 years for example.
If she switched to FLR(M) at some point, it is important to state when as that will depend whether she is on the pre July 2012 rules or the post July 2012 rules, which have different requirements.

Please click on the blue links vinny has provided.vinny wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 11:24 pmI think that she may have a choice of either SET(O) under 196E due to you having been a non-PBS work permit holder directly prior to your ILR, or SET(M) under Appendix FM, due to her having applied under that route. With the former, there was no requirement for a qualifying period of 5 years, etc.
Are you using new or existing service?786stranger wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2019 7:49 pmDear all,
We are in a bit mess
.
Visa expiring next week on coming Wednessday and I found out that IELTS general (and i do have acadamic one ) is not in approved list any more !!! The center is approved and this IELTS was used in last immigration applications .
"Applying to settle in the UK
You can use a B1 level qualification that’s run out if both of the following are true:
it’s on the current list of recognised tests
it was accepted for another UK immigration application, for example when you got permission to enter"
What a panic at last mintue!!
I called Trinity college they say certificate takes 7 days and there is not way i can get it sooner.However they can provide the provisional which home office will refuse I guess ?
The option I have only is to apply via post and send the package on the date one day before expiry of my visa (13 March 2019), I can attached a provisional letter of the test which I will take on Tuesday and fill the correct SELECT reference number and then I also tell that certificate did not arrive.
Is this solve the problems? I will request visa officer that certificate will be send next in post again or something?
If you use the new system its better. You get 2 months to book biometric appointment and your visa will only be processed after you provide your biometrics and verify your documents at the UKVCAS centre. The date of application is the online application submission date. You should apply intime (before expiry) and then take the english test asap before the date of biometrics appointment. Write a cover letter and upload the certificate with your documents. You should be okay.786stranger wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 12:05 ami m using new system though I am not sure which system will help.
