Somewhere I read, while applying for ILR application, if we had made claims from HMRC, then they can reject ILR application. I am a bit worried about this. Could someone guide me please?
Thats incorrect. Unless you lied- claiming whats ur right is perfectly legal.
2. Fee for ILR application is ~2400£ and with 1 dependent's it get twice. If application gets rejected for some reason (like mentioned above tax issue), then all ILR application fee will be refunded? What should be done if application gets rejected and number of days left to stay in UK would less then 20 as VISA will expire. If we had to reapply, then do we have to repay the fee?
Fees are not refunded if refused. Cross that bridge when and if it comes.
3. Is there a waiting period to get appointment for ILR? Like for Life in UK test, there was 2 weeks waiting period near my place.
Its possible.
4. Could someone please share sample format of the
a. "Letter from Employer" for ILR application. My Employer does not have a format.
b. "Declaration Letter" confirming consent for the Home Office to request verification checks.
c. "Reasons for Absence" from UK
A template is available by a member as a sticky on the ILR forum page
1) Yes thats the best way to do it. You can go for super priority alone. Given, your dependents have valid visa and must apply before expiry. They can apply after you get ILR with super priority or standard service. Usually dependents get visa very quick even on standard service within a couple weeks.sunitaM wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 11:01 amHello All, @aman90 and @Zerubbabel
Just had 2 more question.
1. My Tier 2 General visa start date was 11th Dec 2014, end date is 31st Dec 2019 and my entry date was 30th Dec 2014.
I think, I can apply (submit application online and pay fee) on 15th November 2019 (Visa Start Date: 11th Dec - 28 days). I have to apply for 2 dependents (wife and child) as well (their VISA dates, entry dates are same as mine).
Can I apply just my application on 15th November 2019 via premium service? If my application gets approved, then I can apply for my wife and child. Advantage of this is, if application gets rejected for some reason, than I would loose 2400£ + 900£ in place of fee for all 3 applicants? My wife don't work.
2. My plan is to get British Passport for my kids (1 born abroad and 1 born in UK) for their future studies, if they want to return. I want sure, if I get ILR and then BC by next year then they would be eligible to return anytime in the future for their studies, correct?
Kindly advise.
Thank you
Thank you for your reply. Initially I was applying via SET(O) including my dependents. Now, If I split application first for myself and then for my dependents, should I opt SET(M) for dependents or it will still be SET(O)?CULLINAN wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 3:21 pm1) Yes thats the best way to do it.

Pay and submit: 11 Dec 2019 minus 28 days.
It will be SET(O) for yourself and dependents both regardless if you apply first or together.sunitaM wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 4:36 pmThank you for your reply.

My and my dependents VISA expiry date is 31st Dec 2019. So this implies, I have time starting from (11th Dec 2019 - 28 days = 15th Nov 2019) till 31st Dec 2019 to apply for ILR, correct? If decision comes in month of January, still it should be fine, right?
Kindly guide.
Thank you

You must apply for dependents before their visa expiry that is 31/12/2019.
If you go for super priority most likely you will get your ILR in 24 hours but there is no guarantee. You have good time around 1.5 months till your dependents expiry anyways if you apply alone on 15th November 2019. But in case there is a delay in your decision, you still must apply for your dependents before their visa expiry.
11th Dec 2019 minus 28 days is 13th November 2019. So you qualify then. But I would still give 1-2 days on top and apply on/after 15th November 2019 or anytime before 31/12/2019 that is your visa expiry. But obviously in this scenario you should take advantage and apply quicker in order to get a decision and then apply for dependents after.
Note: Do NOT make the mistake of applying on SET(M) for dependents.
Thank you CR001CR001 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2019 6:21 pm1. You apply online, submit and pay online within 28 days before the 5th anniversary of your initial visa issue date. Not everyone is getting the super priority option due to no availability.
2. You then get directed to UKCVAS to book your biometric and document check appointment.
3. You then upload your supporting documents before your appointment.
4. If you can get a super priority appointment, the outcome is made within 24 hours AFTER your biometric appointment date. This is however kit guaranteed.
5. Date of application is the date you submit and pay online. Your biometric appointment date is irrelevant and can be after visa expiry.

Question 1: Do you see any issues in above approach of split application?
Question 2: Priority Service is not per application. If there are 3 applicants in 1 application, then priority service fee will be three times?
Question 3: My 2nd son (born in UK) visa is getting expired on 31st Dec 2019 as well. If my ILR decision comes in January, still is he eligible to stay? I can submit his application even after his visa expiry? His visa status is same as mine (Tier 2 General).
Question 4: Can I apply MN1 application for my 2nd son (born in UK) based on only my ILR? My wife ILR will still be in process and that can take couple of months to get the decision?
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. This implies, I can recall an ILR application if decision has not been received and I will get the refund?aman90 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 10:05 pm1. Seems finesunitaM wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 8:29 pm

Apply for SET(O) here: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/set-o1. While submitting ILR application online [https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk/], I have to select current Visa Type (for example Tier 2 General) and then you fill the details. There is no option of selecting form(O) or form(M). In my case it is form(O) but still I am worried, as I read about rejection due to incorrect form selection. Exactly where do we select form type please? I wanted to make sure, I submit correct form.
Thats nonsense. Everything is scanned2. I passed "Life in the UK" test but person handing over certificate said, I should not scan or photocopy the certificate as it will damage the ink which could eventually lose the authenticity. I am not sure, how to submit the certificate while uploading documents online if I should not scan?
It's good3. I got a letter from employer (in appropriate format) for my absence from UK with reason as "Personal" and I was working remotely. Is that good enough or else I need to provide actual reason like "Cousin Marriage", "Family Commitments" and do I need to prove that by submitting any documents?
Your BRPA. "Evidence of Mr XYZ immigration status in the UK" - I think, I need to attached my VISA, correct?
At the end of your application you should be able to download thisB. "Declaration signed by Mr XYZ to confirm consent for the Home Office to request verification checks" - Where do I download this from? Is there a option to download this form after completing ILR application?
You need UK NARIC letter known as the 'Red route'C. - "The degree certificate for Mr. XYZ to prove the level of English language required" - For this, I have to submit my College Degree certificate which I used in UKNARIC to match english requirement?
D. "NARIC letter that confirms the qualification meets or exceeds the recognised standard of a Bachelor's or Masters degree or PhD in the UK AND confirm the level of English to which the degree was taught or researched" - This is sample for this https://bulgaria.naric.org.uk/NARIC/ind ... ts/van.pdf, correct?
You need itE. Surprisingly it didn't list "Life in the UK" under list of documents - Not sure why?
NoPoint 278: Does Payslip need to be signed by Employer? It is mentioned as either but wanted to check if it is better to submit as signed copy?
Bank statement is enoughPoint 280: "Building society pass books must" - Is this needed or bank statement is good enough?
Not if if you do not apply togetherPoint 282: Submit child birth certificate - Is this needed for main applicant application? I am splitting application for myself and for my dependent application?
