Hello

I am applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain. I have been on Tier 1 General for the last 5 years. Before that I was on PSW and IGS.

I am slightly confused in sections 11 of SET O form. Apart from section 11A, does any more sections from 11B to 11V apply to my case especially the following one.


11L - Tier 1 (General) migrant If you are applying for indefinite leave to remain on completing 5 years’ continuous stay in the UK made up of leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant and leave as a highly skilled migrant, work permit holder, innovator, self-employed lawyer or writer, composer or artist, in addition to the relevant documents in 11A, you must provide the following documents:

Evidence specified in section 9A of this form

For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant, documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules.


Your help is appreciated in advance.

Hi Sushdmehta

Thanks for you reply. I have been reading this yesterday but did not get a clears idea from it.

Here is Q35

Q35 - I am a Tier 1 (General) migrant. How can I satisfy the following instruction in section 11L of the SET(O) form - "For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant, documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules."?
1. If your (5 year) qualifying residential period preceding settlement application does not include a period of stay in the UK as a WP migrant, Tier 2 migrant, innovator, self-employed lawyer or as a Writer, Composer or Artist, and you never entered UK before being granted leave in any of these categories then this instruction does not apply to you.
2. If your (5 year) qualifying residential period preceding settlement application includes a period of stay in the UK as a WP migrant, Tier 2 migrant, then this instruction applies to you and the documentary evidences required will depend on which leave you were under.
3. If you were in the UK in any other immigration category (other than Tier 1 (General) and other than any of the categories mentioned in 1. above) and switched to Tier 1 (General) this instruction may apply to you and the documentary evidences required will depend on which leave you were under.

The closest that may apply to me is the point 3. It says that 11L that "May apply to you". "May" is confusing the situation again. As I said in my first post, I was on IGS and PSW before my Tier 1 general approval in October 2008, therefore should be arranging any documentary evidence of how and on what bases I got the Tier 1 General. pre tier 1 wages slips, bank statements etc.

Read the answer to the question carefully!

Why 3, and not 1?? Your settlement application is based on the 5 year qualifying period preceding the application!

Thanks for clarifying the points.

in point 3 it saysx that "If you were in the UK in any other immigration category (other than Tier 1 (General) and other than any of the categories mentioned in 1". Obviously I was confused by this as I was in other immigration categories before Tier 1 (General).

Thanks for help again. I will leave 11L blank.
