Then SET(M) cannot be used. SET(F) is only for those below 18 years. I believe the only appropriate form is SET(O), as it covers other purposes not covered by other application forms

Thanks But it is the Guidance (i.e. "for 10-year periods which extend beyond 11 April 2024, there is no 548-day limit") contradicting the Immigration Rule (i.e. CR 2.2A)here. We want to rely on both but we literally can't. I am afraid that advice on GOV.UK is inaccurate this is why you sh...

The child is applying on their own ? Why they did not settle with the other parent ?

The continuous residence rule that you quote either uses: 28 after the application date, the application date or the decision date. Now, even if I enrol biometrics (5 years - 28 days), she will still not meet 5 years as the application date is fixed. so the only way is to enrol biometrics close to ...

That's calming, so you recommend I apply for ILR straightaway on 3rd june and delay biometrics to 10th July ( even though I will pay for priority decision ) or the other option, which is to vary in order that she applies within 28 days of her 5 year qualifying period? Why July ?? The date of first ...

All stamps over the last 5 years

I am afraid that advice on GOV.UK is inaccurate this is why you should never rely on it. You should ONLY refer to the official guide and the immigration rules as explained above

SET(M)

No extension is needed: How to apply early and benefit from the date of the ILR decision ?

1. They refer to the same form. Upload it in one go
2. Part 3 should be ignored

YES and NO should be the answers

A marriage certificate is not needed. British children must not be added to the application.
For cohabitation documents see: All you need to know about cohabitation evidence

These still don't address the fact that its wording is totally contradicting the above-mentioned Continuous Residence rule CR2.2A, and the general information page SET(LR). So has the Home Office made a mistake or do you think there are alternative ways to interpret its meaning? Thank you. There ar...

Look at 'Example 2: specific to Appendix Long Residence' in the guide you shared yourself Also paragraph CR4.1(d)(iii) of the immigration rules says: (iii) the application is under Appendix Long Residence, and the applicant had permission when they left the UK and returned to the UK with a valid per...

Information on eVisas as all BPRs will be phased out from 1st Jan 2025

Read the topics pinned to the top of the forum regarding eVisas

For point 2, part 2 of the consent form must be signed by your spouse. Point 4 and 5 refer to BRP

You can but the requirements are very specific. Both sources of income must be ongoing and self-employment requires you to submit the last self-assessment. You cannot just start some self-employment now and apply for ILR a few months later, for example. There is a whole guide on this: https://assets...

Good afternoon. Kindly advise me on the following: If I submit my application on the 5th of April 2025 being the last financial day for 2024. Can I still submit the 2023/2024 HMRC Tax returns document with my application or I need to prepare and submit the 2024/2025 HMRC Tax return before my biomet...

The eligibility date is 28 days before completing the 60 months

Passports covering the last 5 years is enough

Hi, I got the curtailment letter from Home office to leave the country dated 10th June. A licensed sponsor ready to provide COS but he doesn't have any allocation at the moment and the priority service is also not helping out(trying out daily). Since days are running, I'm more worried and I would l...

That does NOT apply to the long residence path to ILR. Under the long residence rules, you can leave with a valid visa and return within 6 months without issues.

No. The absence limit is 180 days in any 365-day period.

In cases where the decision cannot be made, UKVI often tells you that an application can take up to 6 months

Hello, Can I ask if there's any email address to chase the application status? My wife submitted her application (5 yrs Spouses as T1 dependent to the ILR) 6 months ago but hasn't heard anything from the the HO. Thanks! Your previous posts suggest this application was lodged 4 months ago ! There is...
