Consent for Home Office verification checks..

Hi everyone,

Here are some of my query related details - I'll be eligible to apply for ILR in a few days based on 5 years of my UK residence as partner of a Tier 1 (General) applicant who got settled in 2015 and naturalised in 2016. My last visa extension as PBS Dependent was done in May 2018 and the one before that was done in 2015 just after my husband’s ILR application was approved. Entry clearance was granted in 2014.
I've just filled out the ''Find out if you can apply to settle in the UK'' section of UKVCAS website as follows -
1. What's your situation?
You're the family member or partner of a British citizen
2. Did your family member or partner settle before they became a British citizen?
Yes
3. How did they settle?
On a work visa
4. What type of work visa did they settle with?
A tier 1, tier 2 or tier 5 visa
(https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk/y/y ... ier-5-visa)
So the result was '' You can apply as the partner or child of a tier 1, 2 or 5 visa-holder who has settled in the UK ''
but I've also found the following highlighted paragraph in the same result page saying
'' If you got your current visa as your partner’s dependant after they settled in the UK, you must apply as the partner of a settled person instead ''
This is the corresponding link for the underlined text above -
(https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk/y/y ... ur-partner) - let me mention here that the answers that were shown in this link are automatically popped up, which are not quite right for my scenario.

Now my question is - which of the above options should I be applying for?

Many thanks in advance.

It is form SET(O) if you hold and have held a Tier 1 Dependent visa for 5 years.

Thank you CR001.

Hi everyone,

Does all cohabitation documents needed to be joint accounts only or is it acceptable to submit individual bank statements (from same bank) addressed to the same address?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

Single named documents with joint address will be fine.

Hi everyone,

I'm applying for ILR as a PBS dependent of a sponsor (my husband) who was settled under Tier 1(General) category before becoming a naturalised British citizen.

As a full time permanent employee I've my own income therefore do not need any particular financial support from my husband or any one else for that matter.

I'm submitting joint account (with my husband) statements from both banks & Utility companies as evidence for cohabitation; I'm also submitting my employment related documents like letter from employer, pay slips and relevant (individual) bank statements as evidence that we can support ourselves if granted ILR without needing any public funds.

Now can someone help me how to answer the following questions from Set (O) online application please?

Hi everyone,

One of the questions in Set(O) form related to absences asks;

When did you leave the UK and Crown Dependencies?

I know the exact date I left but my passport has the following day stamped in the arrival country (and as you may already aware that there is no leaving stamp at the UK airport so no proof I left the previous day except journey itinerary from a travel agency in case if they asked me further evidence).

Can someone advice how to answer the above question please?

Many thanks in advance.

applicant_ILR

You really are overthinking.

You simply state your date you left and the date you returned. HO has access to the passenger data. No extra evidence is required from you from travel agencies.

Thanks CR001 for your quick reply.

Just completed my application and submitting it today so no more silly questions from me ..

thanks once again for your help.

Hi again everyone,

I know its too late for me to make any changes in the application but let me ask it anyway please..

Just submitted my ILR application using Set(O) form but realised the fact that the online form never let me enter my previous address. Thought of entering it in additional information section at the end but there is none like that in the online form unlike the paper forms I filled out for earlier extensions.

I moved into my new address just a couple of months ago so that is all I was able to give in the online application submitted but still remember giving addresses information covering at least three years in my previous applications..

Do you guys think I did a mistake while filling the form that's why previous addresses option never came up or am I alright? Can some one who has the knowledge of online Set(O) form reply please?

Many thanks in advance.
