Congratulations , How many total absences you had in 5 years period, did you provide any proof of your leaves etc? I had 111(one hundred and eleven days) absences in the 5 year period. I did not provide any proof but merely listed the periods (dates) in the form. As Tier 1 General, we are not requi...
Thank you everyone for the invaluable help and support you provide members and saving us all from cut throat Solicitor fees. I got my ILR approval yesterday (25/2/20130 at the Sheffield PEO along with my two over 18 dependant daughters. My case was a straightforward one. HSMP (2years) + T1 General (...
Thank you very much Uksettlement. I have another question as below: I am applying along with my two dependant children who are now over 18 years. They were under 18 years when we first arrived the UK in 2008. They are both in University now (3rd year and 2nd year) both currently hold valid visas as ...
Below are my details: HSMP + Tier 1 General (2years + 3years) EC date 12/2/2008 Date of 1st Entry = 03/5/2008 Tier 1 Expiry 06/4/2013 I have a PEO appointment for 25/2/2013. Now my confusion is with regards to Question 7.1 of the SET(O) form: How long have you lived in the UK? If I calculate from my...
I am a Tier1 General Migrant. My 2 dependant daughters both aged over 18 and in Uni do part-time work but their salary is not enough to qualify them. They are still living with me and I am fully responsible for them. I intend to provide a letter of sponsorship and documents showing proof of addresss...
Thanks Feigoronin for your response but I've since been reading other posts in this forum regarding similar situations. The success stories seem to indicate, the over 18 dependants used SET(O) form to apply separately but ticked the 'other purposes' box in Section 3.b (pg 9). Both the parent and th...
kkloon, No such documents are needed for dependants. Just cohab docs. My case is somewhat similar. I have 2 dependant children who are now above 18, so applying separately -SET(O). They were under 18 when we first came to the UK. They are both in Uni but work part time and are still living with me ...
Hi again. Thanks for the responses. My appointments are on the 9th of August. I will tell you how I get on. One more question: Did you and your dependents do the Life in the UK test as well? I am slightly confused if that is required for dependents who came in before 18 years of age and are now abo...
Well, I'm fraid I can't comment on the reason for the question itself, other than it giving a case worker a close indication of whether an applicant has met the residence requirement or not. Note that, not all applicants will fall under the 90 day concession you mention and also the SET(O) form is ...
Ok, for this question you would enter the number of years and months you have lived in the UK. I.e. since the date of first entry. It has nothing to do with absences, so you are not required to deduct absences from the period you lived here. What's relevant is the number of years between "date of f...
I'm not totally sure you are referring to the same form (latest SET(O) form) or questions as me, because 6.1 asks you for a date. I.e. when did you first enter the UK? 6.2 asks you a question which you either answer with a yes or no. I.e. since then have you had any absences from the UK? After that...
But in the SET(O) form there is no provision to fill in your EC effective date. So how will you answer Section 6.1 and 6.2? Your EC date will be in the visa vignette in your passport (which a CW will look at to determine whether you have met the residence requirement). Questions 6.1 & 6.2 do not re...

Below are my details: HSMP Date of Entry Clearance - 12/2/2008 to 12/02/2010 Arrived UK - 03/05/2008 Tier 1 (General) - valid from 05/4/2010 to 06/04/2013 When should I start calculating my five years-from 12/2/2008 or 03/05/2008? The SET (O) form only asked about your arrival date in the UK and no...
My understanding is that you may apply for settlement 28 days before the completion of your qualifying period, provided you have leave at the time of the application. Normally, the start date of your qualifying period is the date you entered the UK in the appropriate category. The 3 months concessi...

I am eligible to apply for ILR in February 2013 along with my two dependant daughters who are now over 18 under HSMP (2years) + Tier 1 General (3year). They are still both my dependants (in Uni) but by the new rules they are applying separately using the SET(O) form. My question is: Do I need to mak...
Please help, senior expert!!!. I have a similar situation and posted a query but no one has responded.
Anyone who has successfully applied for their over 18 dependant children should please share their experience.
Could you please help clarify the following scenario for me: I am a Tier 1 (General) Migrant with 2 Teenage daughters now aged 19 and 20. They all came in to the UK as my dependants in 2008. They are both in Uni - year 2 and 3 respectively and both still living with me as my dependants. My initial e...
