Thanks for help @CULLINAN if I have scanned all passport pages individually can I upload them individually?

You can but it is best to keep your files to a minimum, best to be organised. Just imagine CW opening 36/60 files one by one depending on how many pages your passport has!

Yea that makes sense thanks for quick response CULLINAN.

This might rub salt on wounds for SET(M) and SET(LR) applicants.

Appears super priority service has been opened for SET(O) applicants:

Big news!

Is this in effect? I see only standard appointment for Set (F) - Settle in the UK as a child under 18

I see this category in the list:

Applying to settle as the dependent child or partner if you work, establish a business or invest in the UK
Decision available within 5 working days - Yes
Decision available by the end of the next working day - Yes

@venkatRK

SET(O) dependent route

Thanks Poper.
A quick query, my wife's ILR is through Tier 2 G and mine is through Long Residence, so should I use Set (F) or Set(O) for my child's ILR (non-uk born)?

Who was the main applicant? Whose PBS dependent is the child??

Sorry Cullinan, I know the thread is for a different topic. I will post the queries in my own topic.
Thanks.

Got my Set(o) ILR approval email yesterday . Within 7 working days after submitting the biometrics . Waiting for BRP. Will BRP start date same as that of approval email date ?

Hi! We have an appt at Premium Lounge at Mark Lane on Tuesday. We have applied our ILR Set(o) tier 2 + 2 dependants.

We have uploaded all documenta. Should we bring the originals as well?

Another question: what expect on the appt?

Thanks

They only checked passport and BRP. Took scan of all the pages of passport . They also saw original marriage certificate. Nothing else , they asked for degree certificate . But later realized we had NARIC

Thanks @gag285

Congrats poper, so happy for you and glad your ordeal is over!

I must say, I always wish well for everyone but having seen SET O applicants get approvals in 2 month and talk about the stress they have to go through is a bit comical when SET LR applicants have 4+ month waits. Don't mean anyone offence, just looking at the funny side....

Thanks swissman20. Your decision is not far away.
My neighbor who applied same time as mine on SET(0) route received decision in September and is less than 8 months away from naturalization

Thanks poper - I have an employment offer (currently redundant) which expires on 1st of March. I hope by some miracle I can get it before then. With a 4 month timeline I could get it by 25th Feb (applied 25th Oct) - perhaps pray for me
