FLR(M) or SET (M),

[syrbag]

To continue the discussion about FLR(M) or SET (M), here is my exp at Solihull PEO.

I got my ILR on 10 yrs last 2 weeks. My wife as Tier 1 dependent and has lived with me for the past 3 years. I made an appointment of for FLR(M) but also completed SET (M). To the caseworker, I submitted SET (M) and explaining about rule 287 which i had printed out. The case workers said no, my wife had to use FLRM form despite being my Tier 1 dependent.

I asked for a conversation with his supervisor. Meanwhile they did spent over 10 minutes discussing before coming with the manager with a copy of 287 rules. She said i have to apply for FLR(M) first and then follow up with SET (M) the next day, NOT THE SAME DAY. But they warned rules are changing on 6 April, this loophole may be closed. So i got my wife's FLRM and on monday she is going for SETM.
They said my wife could only apply direct with SETM if i had ILR as Tier 1 migrant and not 10 year rule
