Hi, Hope everyone is keeping safe. I am 24 years old and came to to the UK when I was 17 together with my then 16 year sister and my mother, on my mother's settlement/spouse visa on the 5 year route - to join my father who has acquired UK citizenship earlier.
We have since extended the FLR once to overcome some absences.
I now have a clear more than 5 years of continuous stay in the UK and want to apply for ILR.
I am a student in UK (and so is my sister) and my father is still supporting our education and we stay stay together with my mother. My father's income complies with the ILR requirement.
My question is which form do I use to apply for ILR ? SET M or SET O.
I understand both my sister and mother have to apply separately for ILR like me.
Much appreciated for an reply.

You should use form SET(F)

ILR Set F seems to be for children under 18 and there is a mention in the guidance notes that other dependent relatives aged over 18 can apply using Set F. However the dependent relative i.e. me, must also need long-term personal care to perform daily tasks. Not applicable in my case.

ILR Set M is for those applying as a spouse or civil partner (no mention of son) of a person present and settled in the UK based on the guidance notes. Maybe this is the Form I should use.

Then there is SET O to add to the confusion, that I can apply for ILR if I am applying as a dependant of work permit holder, which I am not, but then says for “other purposes not covered by other application forms” - which might be answer.

I am puzzled and thoroughly confused, Set F, M or O?
