ILR To be in the country 3 year prior

[zaf1]

Hi Guys,

May be a silly question but I just want to reconfirm as had an issue with one of my friend.

My wife came to UK on spouse visa on 8th Nov, 2019 that time I had ILR. We extended her spouse visa (I had British Citizenship then).

Now her current leave to remain expires Feb 2025 but we wish to apply for ILR in a week or so.

Do I need to fill SET(M) or SET (O) ?

Thanks.

As you indicated she came on spouse visa and extended on same I.e. FLR(M) it is SET(M) that you should be filling.

Hello All,

I am completing the ILR Set (M) for my wife.
I remember in the olden days there was a rule that demand you to be present in the UK 3 years or maybe 5 years prior on the date of your application. Basically ensure you were in the UK 3 years ago when you made the application?

As far as I can see it has not asked this question in the form. Do we still have that requirement?

Thanks.

Such a requirement never existed

Thanks for the response and clarifications.

Maybe I was confusing naturalisation requirement with ILR.

I noted in new application form SET(M) there is no room to add extra information?

In the past applications in extra information section I use to normally explain a few things i.e I receive child benefits in my account on my name (British Citizen) and my wife is not entitled to it etc.

Also, I am paid 4-weekly and get 13 payslips in a year instead of 12. The requirement is to submit 6 months payslip. Shall I submit 7 or 8 or go for full year 13 payslips? Along with bank statement for same period?

Many thanks again all.

Sorry for posting many questions. But I remain thankful to this forum and people here are experts.

One more question regarding English language requirement.

My wife used NARIC certificate (B1 level) for her earlier spouse visa applications. Now for SET(M) there are a series of questions,
1) Have you provided evidence of yours English language ability in a previous application ?
Ans YES

2) Have you passed an approved English language test?
Ans No

3) Are you claiming an exemption from the English language test due to a medical or mental condition ?
Ans No

4) Do you have exceptional circumstances that prevent you from taking the test?
Ans No

I believe I have answered correctly as I need to show NARIC. But in the list of supporting documents it is not highlighting or listing any evidence that I need to show any English language proof or NARIC letter ???

Please suggest what is appropriate?
Bundle of thanks.

You are not required to send 6 payslips, you need to send/cover payslips to cover at least 6 months
