It appears that not only is the HO unable to deliver decisions within the 24 hour period promised for priority applications but Sopra Steria is also not able to offer appointments within five days from the online application as promised. Very disturbing! Ok i think I might actually start crying now...

I have applied online application for Set M yesterday my qualifiying period is from 23 december cant find any appoinments by that dates i have looked every where its again the same issue as it was with PEO centre

How did you get a date for Dec 27? Did it come up after you applied?

Just wanted to say a big thank you to CR001 and allyf for the help and advice. We (finally!) submitted yesterday. Our experience of the service centre was not pleasant. Took close to 4hrs to go through the whole process. This was due to too many appointments and not enough staff. To their credit, t...

Just so you know, I received an email today, the day after my wife's appointment at the premium lounge in London, confirming the granting of my wife's further leave to remain (extension under FLR(M) route). We will receive the mail with the BRP in due course it said. Quick and efficient. By the way...

Hi I paid 3018 gbp for super premium service at Croydon . Yeah looks like even though they say you can book appointment within 5 days, doesn't seem to be the case, probably because of upcoming holidays. Anyway's, coming back to my question, when you submit your documents, does the date of it count ...

Wanted to touch base with others to see if anyone has made a booking for this week or next with sopra steria. I’m within my 28 days starting next week and I’m hopeful that I’ll get an appointment either the 19th, 20th or 21st...I want this application out of my hair before Christmas!! I read on anot...

It looks good to me… I would just recommend providing more than less.. so if there are any other correspondence throw in a couple more. I have a slightly more complicated case where we moved houses three times in the last 2.5 years. Only because we were waiting for our house to finish building... i’...

application: 12th Nov Mark Lane, London Premium appointment: 30th Nov just called UKVI and escalated. I also chatted to the woman about the whole situation. 1. They are totally snowed under with work and she said at least half the calls they're getting at the moment are dealing with slow decisions....

Final document check Thank you to everyone who has contributed in this thread. I just wanted to do a final document check before we go to the Visa centre tomorrrow. I would like particular attention to the dates of documents that show proof of cohabitation over last 2.5 years - are they spaced out ...

Sorry, should have mentioned my wife is applying for her ILR through the 5 year route using form SET(M). I’m also SET M 5 year route ILR so I can’t take any chances so will provide what I can. Online form has also asked about problems at immigration which I unfortunately had on my arrival in the UK...

The new online form gives a checklist at the end. I meant, it can make some errors as the new online form is very new. As I said, similarly the check list for Tier 1 also demands for two documents which are not required by the guidance but we have to tick the boxes to proceed. But we have to follow...

See below links for the Set M paper form (archived) and the Set M Guidance Notes. https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20181001184055/https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-to-settle-in-the-uk-form-setm https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20181003112300/https://assets.p...

The system is pretty new and not properly updated yet. I am Tier 1 and the online form asks for evidence for 2 things which is NOT required by the guidance. So I would suggest follow the guidance only. If the guidance says its not required dont worry about checking the boxes in the online form. Als...

Thanks allyf, would be great to know. Glad it's not only me that thinks it is different to paper form! SoS Ok I have now finished the finance section...you are right SpouseOfSettler..they appear to be asking “evidence of monthly housing costs for the accommodation in the UK where you live” AND Evid...

Hi spouseofsettler, I have started the online form for Set M and am actually shocked by some of the questions already! It is very different from the paper form set M....
I haven’t gotten to the finance section yet but will confirm what is stated in that area for myself.

Couldn’t help but chuckle over the “thank you for using the super priority service”...

The last item on my wife's document checklist states: "Evidence of monthly housing costs for the accommodation in the UK where you live or will live" I plan to provide latest utility bills (energy, water, broadband) as well as history of mortgage payments. I'm going to use Council Tax bill (jointly...

There is no requirement to provide evidence of monthly costs.

Ok thank you!

Hi, Quick question - do we need to provide passport photos if using the new online service instead of old postal application? We will be going to the VISA service point this week. Thanks, SoS Hi spouseofsettler, I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think you need to provide passport photos anymore. Hopefu...

Yes if Casa could please confirm as I thought it was 12 month period as well... thank you

I really don’t know! Or maybe do as cemj did? I doubt it really matters especially in these early days when some clarity is needed. We don’t have to apply yet (SET(M) like you), so hopefully others will advise.I would like to think that, once all the necessary documents are uploaded, that they woul...

Thanks allyf! I hope someone who has completed the process will come back to advise on the issue of 'proof of application' but they all seem to have deserted us! When my husband logged in to upload his documents, under 'Proof of application' it asked for his passport and then the signed consent/dec...

Just to want to share this: Hi all, So, I received the BRP delivered last Saturday and now have time to write some review. I would like to thank you all for support and advice during this process. Route: Tier 2 General to ILR, 5 year route with dependents. 20 November 2018: Application made online ...

Hi Vinny or CR001, I am applying for ILR under set M and under mandatory documents to scan it advises “proof of application”. Does anyone know what proof they require? Would I need to print off entire application form (even though it is submitted online) or would proof of payment be what they need? ...
