All,
I am applying for ILR in few weeks and have been looking at the new SET O form released on the 13th.
It has two new questions
7.11. How long have you lived in the UK?
7.12. Please state what ties you have with ?
Now with regard to 7.11 -
I was on a Student visa, then on WP (old format) but didnt get FLR for 4 months and now on T1G.
Should I count the time from -
Student visa
WP approval
WP Stamping/ FLR ?
With regard to 7.12
How much or how little information should be given? Can this be used against you - say when you want to get a visa for someone in your home country?
Immigration history -
Student visa - WP approval - FLR - T1G
Thanks in advance.

@rshelar,
7.11: Calculate the period from date of your WP approval on which this application is based.
7.12: Ties, could be your family(Parents). Thats more than enough to write.
Write exactly and truthfully, do not try to hide any thing.

Thanks Spidery_thread.
Can someone confirm please, as I am using the date from FLR for my ILR period and also counting the holidays from that date.
My friends, who were in a similar situation had also counted the period from WP stamping.
However this is a new question and hence not sure.
Anyone ?

@rshelar,
Are you applying on the basis of T1G or 10 year long residency?

I am applying on the basis of T1G.
I was on Wp for 1 year and 4 years on tier 1. Before WP one year on a student visa.
Thanks.

What is applicable here is the date that your WP was stamped/ FLR, as that's when your 5 year residency for ILR began.

Thanks
So should I say from Feb 2008 (date FLR for WP was approved)
OR
4 years 11 months and X days
Also, this means in reality I would have stayed longer in UK - due to a year being on student visa, but for the application purpose I count only the time from WP approval - excluding time on student and WP (without stamping)
Does this look correct to everyone ?

Correct.

Sorry I have had two contradictory answers to query regarding 7.11 in this thread.
Can someone who has had their ILR recently approved please comment ?

Please see the post by cs95tdg above Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2012 8:07 pm.
7.11: Is asking 'How Long'have you lived in the UK?
Means the time in years and months(not asking the days in addition).

Immigration history -
Write exactly which is true, HO has all the records how long have you been here? what applications you made?, what visas you were on etc etc.
e.g: You can have Family ties with your home country.
