Form(s) to use for ILR application - URGENT request for guidance

[Nightingale66]

Dear All,

Please I need URGENT guidance as to the appropriate form to use for ILR application.

I have been on the 10-year route - 7.5 of which was granted as parent of a settled child (British) and the remaining 2.5 years as partner of a British citizen.

I am perplexed as to the appropriate form to use for ILR application to avoid rejection. I need to add that I will be applying with a child who has been on the same visa route with me but now over 18 years and working.

I will be extremely grateful if I can be guided please.

Thanking you all in advance.

Adults under the 10-year route should use the 'adult settlement' form: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... t-relative

Children can settle using SET(F)

Dear Zimba,

Many thanks for your response and advice.

I note that the link sent for Children application only covers children under 18 years - "Use this form to apply to settle in the UK if you are a child, or are applying on behalf of a child under 18."
Additionally, the Form SET F also states that the form cannot be used if the parent is applying for ILR via the parent route - "Do not use this form if:
your current leave to remain is as the child of a parent who is (or parents who are) applying for settlement on the 10-year family route."

Grateful if you can help look into this and advice accordingly.

Many Thanks

You are indeed correct. UKVI has made the forms more confusing since 2022.
The recent 'child settlement' form should be used instead: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... ment-child
