I am new to this forum
I want to update my case and need some suggestion as well
hsmp+tier1
application sent 05/07/12 main applicant set (o)
spouse flr (m)

biometrics done set(O) 01/11/12

biometrics done FLR(M) 19/11/12

now I want to say actually my wife arrived here on 02/01/11 (date of entry)
and as per rules she qualify for ILR by 02/12/12(completion of two years)

It is a case of change of circumstances.
which form I have to use now set(O) or SET (M)
what about fee difference?
thanks in advance

How can the person in question use SET(M) form when FLR(M) leave has not yet been granted and the person's immigration category remains the same as the one that she was under (PBS migrant) before applying for FLR(M), by virtue of Section 3C?

My Personal opinion was, since she's already applied for FLR(M), all she got to do is wait for her FLR(M) to be granted and the very next day she can make a SET(M) application.

But then this is my personal opinion. I might've missed it completely. Please feel free to rectify me.

The OP has asked what may be done if the applicant becomes eligible for settlement before FLR(M) application is approved and not what is to be done after FLR(M) is approved!! When posting personal opinion(s) rather than facts, please state so clearly - rather than misguiding the person seeking help!!


OP, if the FLR(M) application has not been decided by the time your wife becomes eligible to apply for settlement then she may vary her FLR(M) application to settlement using SET(O) form.

thanks for your reply
one more thing about fee difference
I have already paid £1983(main applicant +2 dependent)
should i pay £991 or the difference (main applicant +3 dependent)£2479-£1983=£496
£561 already paid on FLR(M)

A person who varies their application does not have to pay an additional fee unless the new ground that they want to be considered under has a higher fee than their original application. In this case, they must pay the difference between the original fee and the new higher fee. This means that a valid variation will look like a new application.
