First visa stamped Sep-2010 however came to UK in Nov-2010 under Tier-2 ICT Established Staff. Post that I have extended visa 4 times under Tier 2 (ICT) -Long Term Leave to Remain with current visa expiring in Oct-2021.

1. Pass the Life in UK test (only for self & wife)

2. Proof to have sufficient English skills (only for self & wife). I understand there are 2 options:

· NARIC – They will need letter from India University that degree was taught in English.

o Given the current situation not sure if this is possible since many places are not open?

o Is there any list of Universities/ Degrees that already approved under NARIC hence no need to provide English letter from University?

o Also do we need to original letter indicating English language from the university to be provided to NARIC? This could again be logistic issue for getting letter from India to UK

o Do we need to provide degree certificate along with the mark sheets for all years?

· Passing English test

o Which test needs to be taken and preparation required?

o Is there any negative if we use this instead of getting our degrees converted through NARIC?

o Considering the current challenges, would it be easier to take this test instead of going through NARIC route?

3. Bank statements/Salary Slip/P60 –

o Last 3 months – I get electronic bank statements; do we need to get it stamped from the bank on the print out or any other requirement?

o Do we need to give Salary Slips/ P60?

4. Letter from employer stating that I am still required to be in UK (any specific format?)

5. International Travel details for last 10 years

6. Is it better to apply for full family together or I should apply first and then for them later?

7. Address Proof (Council Tax Bill/ Electricity Bill)

8. Original Passport’s (Old + Current)

9. Original BRP’s

10. Child Birth Certificate

Any other documents?

Each of you have to apply and meet the rules individually. There is no dependent aspect for a set LR application.
<Thanks! Do they also need to apply using the same form i.e. SET (LR)? If I apply earlier, will their current dependent visa get invalidated since they are dependent on my current Tier 2 ICT visa?>

1. Pass the Life in UK test (only for self & wife)

Correct, assuming your child is under 18.
Yes, that is correct

2. Proof to have sufficient English skills (only for self & wife). I understand there are 2 options:

· NARIC – They will need letter from India University that degree was taught in English.

o Given the current situation not sure if this is possible since many places are not open?

o Is there any list of Universities/ Degrees that already approved under NARIC hence no need to provide English letter from University?

o Also do we need to original letter indicating English language from the university to be provided to NARIC? This could again be logistic issue for getting letter from India to UK

o Do we need to provide degree certificate along with the mark sheets for all years?

You need English and comparable assessment from naric if using a foreign degree. You need to contact them for advice. For ilr evidence, you need both assessments and your degree cert.

· Passing English test

o Which test needs to be taken and preparation required?

o Is there any negative if we use this instead of getting our degrees converted through NARIC?

o Considering the current challenges, would it be easier to take this test instead of going through NARIC route?

IELTS sept level B1 English test. Makes no difference which English option you choose. Both options cost the same.

Thanks! I see there are various agencies providing the B1 tests and they have variation in duration/ format. As long as they are in the approved list from Home Office, hope that is fine

3. Bank statements/Salary Slip/P60 –

o Last 3 months – I get electronic bank statements; do we need to get it stamped from the bank on the print out or any other requirement?

o Do we need to give Salary Slips/ P60?

This is NOT required.

4. Letter from employer stating that I am still required to be in UK (any specific format?)

This is NOT required. You are NOT applying for ilr based on tier 2.

5. International Travel details for last 10 years

Correct.

6. Is it better to apply for full family together or I should apply first and then for them later?

It makes NO difference as they cannot apply as dependents on your set LR form. They just EACH meet the requirements themselves and complete their own separate forms.

7. Address Proof (Council Tax Bill/ Electricity Bill)

This is NOT required.

8. Original Passport’s (Old + Current)

9. Original BRP’s

10. Child Birth Certificate

Fine.

Any other documents?

Why are you planning to submit a whole bunch of completely irrelevant and unnecessary documents??

Hi All,

I am applying under SET (LR) and have following queries as part of filling online application. Would appreciate the feedback on the same.

1.Ties in home country - Do we need to give names of friends? - Answer however you want and truthfully to your situation. Your answer has no bearing on the outcome.
2. Do you have any Home Office reference numbers? Do we give earlier Tier 2 visa extension reference, if available? No need and not mandatory. This is an "if known" question.
3. Trip details- Do we need to provide international Trip details which did not involve overnight stay i.e. going in the morning and coming back same day later in the evening? I tried to give same date for leaving and returning however system is not accepting. No. But you may attach a cover letter including those trips and explaining why they're not in the form, especially if you want to justify the immigration stamps in your passports.
4. What level of details needs to be provided for the trips outside UK e.g. Can we just give 'Personal trip', 'Official trip to visit customer'? Yes...short and succinct answers are perfectly acceptable. I would suggest clearly differentiating business and personal trips, though. Do we need to give name of the customer? No.
5. Do you have any other reasons for wanting to stay in the UK? What needs to be specified? See answer to number 1.
6. Who does the Child normally live with? Should I select myself, my wife ? There is no option of both. If I select myself, what should i select when my wife is filling the form Either one.

Thanks

Hi All,

I am applying ILR for my son (14 years) under 10 year route using SET (LR). Can you please provide a response to the following queries?
1. Email Id related:
a. Can i use my e-mail id to registration?
b. If I use that do I mention that e-mail id does not belong to the applicant?
c. In that case, it is asking for applicant e-mail id for correspondence? Can i again give the same e-mail id which I used for registration in point a
2. Consent letter - will that be signed by our Son and parents?
3. Consent for the Home Office to request verification checks for joint accounts or third party support. Are you relying on evidence from someone else to prove your financial circumstances? What should be the response to this question since I am applying on behalf of my son?

One question in SET (LR) application for my wife
1.If you legally changed your name, when did you do this (if applicable)? - She changed name at Marriage, should we give Marriage date? or this question is not for name change during marriage?

Thanks for the confirmation! I have one question related to my wife's application:
My wife has started doing online sessions from Apr'20 with income around 300 GBP per month (that is based on the number of people joining). She advertises the work through Facebook however she does not have any registered company in her name. Do we show that she is Self Employed or Unemployed? If we select 'Self Employed', online application asks us to provide Company Name, Annual turnover etc. which we don't have. Can you please suggest?

Thanks ! I am not relying on her income. Can you please confirm in that case, what do we need to mention? (Self Employed or Unemployed)

Can you please clarify what do you mean by 'this is not full disclosure'?

*Advice needed*
I just submitted application form of my Son (age 14) and at the end of the form there is section for declaration, I had by mistake selected 'I am the applicant aged 18 or over'. Looking for suggestions on any way to update the form, put that in covering letter etc. Would really appreciate guidance on this.
