Hi friends,

My wife will need to apply for her ILR. She entered uk on October 2011 with Tier-1 dependent visa. Then I got ILR on September 2012 and she then switched to spouse of settled person visa on September 2012 just few days after I got ILR.

Now the question is, for how long I will need to show cohabitation documents? Is it for since last visa ( September 2012) to date or need to be full 2 years?

in the form it says "please provide documentary evidence of cohabitation since you were last granted leave"

Thanks for reply.

If she switched to FLR(M) then the form she needs to complete is SET(M) not SET(O) and cohabitation proof is, for roughly every 4 months of the last 2 years, a joint letter or a letter each from a total of at least 3 different sources.

Thanks for reply Amber. So, even though the form says " since you were last granted leave" we need to submit for whole 2 years? Because if we are to submit since last leave, we will need to submit only from September 2012.

Did you actually read what I stated at all or not bother? Especially where I said the form is SET(M) not (O)!

I did read whatever you wrote few times. Not sure what I am missing. I didn't ask anything about which form she needs to fill or anything. I simply asked, we need to submit documents for how long because the form SET (M) says 'since you were last granted'' How does this question answer from your statement "she needs to complete is SET(M) not SET(O)"

yes I know she needs to submit SET (M) and in the set(m) form it says " "please provide documentary evidence of cohabitation since you were last granted leave" and that's the whole point of asking the question in the first place.

Dear All

I am trying to apply for ILR in February 2014. The doubt is related to Co-habitation document.

My wife joined me in Aug 2010 and since then I had 2 Tier 2 (General) visas
1) February 2011
2) February 2012 (my current leave to remain)
What does "documentary evidence of cohabitation since you were last granted leave (up to a maximum of two years) mean ?

Would be very helpful as i am stuck on the above clause
Regards
Anil

Where does it says on SET(M) form?

You are looking at the form SET(O) as stated and advised by Amber.

Please read the form again correctly.

SET(M) [section 11] clearly states:

The dates of the letters or documents should spread over the whole 2 years. They should be from at least 3 different sources

Whereas SET(O) asks from the last extension up to a max of 2 years.

Thanks for clarification and I apologise for the confusion.
