Hello experts,

I am applying for ILR using SET(O) under PBS dependant category. My husband got his ILR in Nov last year.

For cohabitation I am submitting below documents

1. HSBC Joint account statements over last 2 years both names
2. Rent agreements for last 2 years both names
3. Council tax certificates both names
4. Joint Motor insurance policy documents over last 2 years
5. Payslips in interval of 3 months for both of us sent by respective employer on the same address
6. Marriage certificate (I understand this is not actually a cohabitation proof)

Is that sufficient? Please suggest. I have appointment in Croydon in 3 days. Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

I think these should be fine. I have used almost exactly the same set of documents with my application for ILR yesterday and it was successful. I think you only need 6 letters if they are in both person's names. In my opinion, a bank statement is only for one month so if you have attached the statements for last 2 years, that alone makes it 24 letters as each bank statement should be treated as a letter. So you should be ok

Regards

Hi,
Can you please also let me know if dependants who were tier1 general dependant before have to use SET(O) form to apply for ILR dependants? I got my ILR and my husband needs to apply as ILR dependant

Please can you let me know if we have to use SET(O) or FLR(M)

Thanks

@Swethag - If your husband has ever extended stay using FLR(M) then he should use SET(M) for ILR.
If his current visa is a PBS Dependent (or Extension) then SET(O).

How to apply
Complete application form SET(O) unless you’ve extended your permission using form FLR(M) - if you have you should apply using form SET(M).

Hope this helps.
