Hi Friends I am delighted to share that our application for ILR has been approved! Thanks to the 'Gurus' here who have been of immense help and for everyone to post their personal questions and experiences which has helped me do a DIY on the application with no solicitor support. I felt very ...
Yes, you would enter it normally. Hi Zimba, Does that mean that i should: - enter an entry date and exit date as (i) commencement of visa validity (24/6) and (ii) arrival into the UK (10/7) respectively? OR - only enter the date of entry into the UK in a separate field and leave it to the "system ...
You should enter all the absences. There is no need to tell the caseworkers how to follow the rules. Give them what they asked for and they know how to handle it Hi Zimba Thanks for the counsel. Specifically, do i enter the "absence" between date of visa validity (24/6) and date of arrive (10/7) in ...
You do NOT separate one absence period into two separate periods on the form. You enter the details of each absence period using your exit and entry dates. The absences limit calculations is simply a guideline in the rules to ensure that the applicant does not break the limits. This has nothing to ...
1) Visa issue date = visa validity 2) It does not matter that you are missing days in the beginning. You should view any date before the visa issue date as part of the 12 months but do not count that towards the absences. This used to be explained in the old guides 3) Simply on the form. There is ...
First of all, you both should use the visa issue date to calculate the ILR qualifying period. Now let's say you apply on 3/6/2021. The rolling basis applies ONLY to the period after 14/7/2019 to 3/6/2021, so there is no 12 month block. Then you need to count backwards from 3/6/2019 in 12 month ...
Dear Sir My 5 year qualifying period is reached on 24/6/2021 and that of my wife (PBS dependant) on 1/7/2021. Hence, taking the later of the two dates, I am applying for ILR 28 days before 1/7/2021 i.e. 3/6/2021 (which includes my wife) I have two leaves in the qualifying period: - Leave 1: 24/6 ...
‘Must not be leading an independent life’ or ‘is not leading an independent life’ means that the applicant does not have a partner, is living with their parents (except where they are at boarding school, college or university as part of their full-time education), is not employed fulltime (unless ag ...
1) Yes but also the evidence that she is living at home and relies on parents 2) It is a separate application, the answer will be NO 3) Only part one by her Dear Zimba thanks a lot, couple of follow up questions: 1) Evidence: I can evidence that she lives with me through NHS registration document ...
Above 18 dependants should prove they are not living an independent life Dear Zimba While i agree with your point that my daugther must demonstrate independent living, I am looking for specific answers to the below. I am really sorry but probably i have not drafted my questions properly so pls ...
a) You must provide cohabitation for the last two years b) Applicant signs part one and the spouse part two as they may share evidence c) That is part one of the consent form Dear Zimba Apologies - I should have clarified that all my questions pertain to the separation ILR application to be made by ...
Hi We are a family of three. I will apply for ILR together with my wife (PBS dependant) in the same application. My adult daughter will need to apply separately as a PBS Dependant and i am preparing her application. My questions are as follows: 1] In the application form the following two questions ...
Hi I am due to apply for ILR early next year together with 2 PBS dependants. The original leave (for all) was valid from July 2016 - July 2019 and has been renewed as 'Leave to Remain' until well after 2022. SET(O) requires details of absence (departure/arrival) from the UK to be mentioned. Do the ...
On the face of it one should "submit" the online application (Form SET O) 28 days before 31st October i.e. on 3rd October, 2020. However, there is a second step of seeking an appointment with UKVCAS and completing the biometric and other steps only after which the application is "completed" and ...
If you have sufficient leave, then apply shorty after you have completed the required qualifying period for ILR in the UK. This stops any concerns about too early applications. Why worry about it when you don’t have to? Hi Vinny. Thanks for your response. Each of our individual circumstances differ ...
Yes. Not many get a visa vignette or letter after the actual brp date. It is not an issue at all. You use the brp date in this case. Normally it is the visa vignetted issue date. Dear CR001 and Friends Apologies for repeating my question but I reviewed all my documents (again) and also consulted my ...

Dear CR001 Thank you so much for your prompt responses: All responses understood but allow me to ask on question 4) again. So you are saying that if my BRP issue date is 01/06/2016 and UKVI letter gives permission to enter from 24/6/2016, the latter can be disregarded and I can consider 31/05/2021 ...
I hold a Tier 2 (General) Visa with 2 PBS dependants. The 5 qualifying period for my PBS dependant spouse ends 2 weeks after my qualifying period. Question: Can I apply for ILR (together with PBS dependant) in the same application 28 days before my qualifying period ends or do I have to wait for 2 ...
