SET(M) or SET(O). Please help?

Probably the last few questions as I am already done applying.

The home office only asked for the day we entered the UK and some immigration history. They didn't ask for the time of the ILR 5-year route. Is that normal?

Also, the document list is only asking for passports, immigration details and English/LiUK tests. They didn't ask for proof of address for anyone. They also didn't ask for any previous BRPs. Is that normal?

Should we submit exactly what they have asked or some additional documents?If yes then what other documents?

Thanks a million

Thank you for confirming.

When we start the application (SET O), it asks for 'Select a category in which you are applying for indefinite leave to remain. As my family is still on GTV dependent visa. should we choose 'Tier 1 or Global Talent Dependent'?

The confusion is because I have ILR now and I don't have a GTV visa anymore. There is no such option that says anything about ILR dependents etc.

Appreciate your prompt response. Thanks

Set O is the only form that can be used.

Tier 1 or Global Talent Dependent is the route they are under and that is the route they are applying for ILR. That is why you have to choose that option. This is correct

UKVI does not need you to tell them about the dates in general as they rely on their records. They have all that info. Such questions asked on the form are for guidance only and do not affect your eligibility. That is only determined based on the UKVI records and the immigration rules.

The document list is missing the cohabitation proof for your spouse you just add that as I explained here: All you need to know about cohabitation evidence

Hi Zimba,

Thanks a million for answering and providing further guidance. Could you please clarify a bit more?

Is this not required for a Spousal visa/ILR? They are currently on PBS dependents (GTV)

The names of both spouses should be added to every document or we can submit individual documents for both (wife and husband) having the same address?

Council tax letters don't have the name of one spouse (exempt/discount because of education). No name on utility bills as well. But has separately named: bank statements, payslips, hospital letters, HMRC letters. We also have Mortgage Documents having both names. Are these acceptable and what else can we use

Do we need to provide everything for 5 years?

Do we also have to submit a cover letter as part of the ILR application?

Thanks and highly appreciated.

Did you click on and read the link I posted above ???

shan1403 · Post by **shan1403** » Thu Feb 06, 2025 6:41 pm

Yes, I did. Let me do a little rephrasing

The link says (under durable relationship) 'mortgage agreements, tenancy arrangements or utility bills'. We have separately named: bank statements, payslips, hospital letters, and HMRC letters but none of these are listed in the guidance document. Therefore, can we still use these or is there a separate link where there is a complete list of documents?

Also, the link says (CR001 quote) 'You need 2 years evidence from 3 - 6 sources, spread evenly for every 3 to 4 month' How can I do this using the documents I have?

We have two above 18 years (children) applying separately and they have bank statements, GP letters and school letters only. How these can be submitted as per CR001 comments? What can be submitted if these are not acceptable?

Do we also have to submit a cover letter as part of the ILR application in which we write everything down with dates, residence details etc and also mention the application numbers of those applying separately? Please note everyone applied for priority service and they have the biometrics same day

You are massively overthinking the whole thing. There is NO official requirement for cohabitation evidence. So you should provide whatever you have that links you two to the same address. The advice given regarding the documents is TOTALLY advisory. I thought this was clear in the link.

For the 18+ son, you provide again whatever you have which shows he is still dependent on the parents.

You also do not need to provide a cover letter and tell UKVI about the things they know all about you.

Thanks a million for answering and your patience.

I remember there was a requirement to upload documents in black and white. However, I didn't find any such requirements anywhere or on TLS website. Do we need to upload documents in color where applicable?

Thanks again

Hi Zimba, CR001 and Everyone,

The ILR application went through with ease and we got the decision the next day (Friday). We paid for Priority (5 days) and Biometrics was yesterday (Thursday). Bundles of thanks for your kind support and patience towards repeated or silly questions.

I have a post-ILR question and would highly appreciate if I get a reply at your earliest.

The <18 dependents are showing 'Dependent' instead of Settled on their eVisa. However, it further says 'There is no limit on how long you can stay in the UK'. Is this because they are under 18 and going to be changed to Settled automatically after they turn 18? Or do we have to follow up with the Home Office?

Thanks and Cheers.

It does not matter that it says dependant. As long as it says there is no limit to stay, it means they have ILR. There is nothing to fix
