Hi everyone,

The following docs been listed to submit with my Set (O) application from which I will apply under T2. Please check the list and let me know :

**Passport(new&old)
**BRP
**Pictures(2)
**Life in UK test
**UK Masters Certificate
**3 months payslip
**3 months bank statement
**Letter from Employer

DO i have to submit my last COS which issued during my T" extension application as there is a question related to it on the form (12c) and my colleague who granted ILR a few years back said he submitted the last COS. It is mandatory doc?

You have been advised in many of your ILR topics/posts that Set(O) is the form for Tier 2 to ILR :idea: :idea: :idea:

Your employer only needs to confirm your SOC code in the same letter confirming that you are needed for the foreseeable future

One more confusion!

i am filling up the latest version of the set(o) form which is updated on 7/18

Previously in older version i believe i saw a question like..
Section: Problems with immigration to the UK

Question: Have you ever been refused a visa for the UK?

But in the latest form im not seeing any Q like that or i m missing it somehow! if anybody knows then please let me know.

Thanks :)

Hi again,

I did fill up the Set(O) form and the block spaces i fil up with the capital letter of course. But in some question where given space to answer the question like 'Family Ties' or 'reason of absence'..there i didnt write in all CAPITAL..i just wrote normally. Is that alright?

No where in the form its written to fill up in capital except the payment page which i didn't fill up cause i paid and booked online so will attach those page.
So is it ok the way i filled up the form? Your opinon will be highly appreciated.

Thanks :)

Hi!

in 2015 i went to USA for three weeks as a part of my authorised leave from the employer.
In my passport, i have a seal on the day of return from immigration in Heathrow airport but there is nothing ( no seal/stamp) on my passport regarding USA entry or anything!! I guess USA airport give no stamp on entry!!

When i as filling the absence list and checking with passport then noticed that. i have my flying ticket with me as a proof by the way. Hope it won't be an issue.

Thanks :)

USA do stamps on immigration , usually on the visa (If u needed a visa clearance)

If not, u can do a cover letter stating that / or just simply put in your flight ticket together with your documents in your submission folder (which they will give u during the appt - assuming its a PSC appt). The caseworker will look through it and decide whether they need the extra information or they might just ring u to send them the flight ticket if you choose not to submit it in the submission folder.

You are way, way overthinking this. I don't get stamped when I go back to Canada and I never get stamped when going from Canada to Cuba (which I've done and declared on previous visas). I have never had any issues and nor have I supplied plane tickets

I am also in the same position: travelled to Russia once but the border officer forgot to put an entry stamp in my passport (Ive been in Russia a few times and they were always stamping the passport). However, I have the departure stamp from Russia and also UK entry stamp.

I have a premium appointment next week.

Should I write an explanationary letter and submit the ticket from UK to Russia to proof I was actually travelling on that date?

Also, I was travelling from Brussels to UK via Eurostar a couple of years ago but the UK border officer said I dont need to complete the immigration card (!!) and just stamped my passport instead. Is this an issue?

Hi!
I have one question regarding SET(O) section 6

6.5 Did you last enter the UK using a valid passport or travel
document? YES
6.6 Do you currently have valid leave to enter or remain in the UK? YES

now when I go to the next question, then..

6.7 What date was your last period of leave valid until? ???
If this date has passed please answer 6.8, otherwise, go
to question 6.9.

So if i answer YES on 6.6 then do i have to answer Q 6.7 or i can skip it. Please let me know.

You will answer 6.7 with the expiry date of your current visa and then move to 6.9
