I came to UK on 9 july 2006,on working holiday maker visa,i got visa stamped on 15 may 2006,then switched to HSMP visa on 2 feb 2008 i got hsmp visa stamped,then i applied for extension in january2010,but it was rejected so i applied for Appeal and got visa in sep-2010,now i want to apply for ILR, as i completes the 5 yrs since feb 2008-feb2013 but as my visa is valid till sep 2013 so due to fund maintenance all i thought to apply in july as per i have few doubts i want to get clear about it

-> shall i go for set (o) form or i come under any other form category?
->if i go for premium service what will be fee for me and one dependent
->do i need to maintain funds for 3 months? if yes how much for main applicant and one dependent?

->what is criteria for absence from UK in 5 years
i have crossed 180 days (stayed outside UK) in 5 years,at one instance in 2011, due to emergency (accident), i have stayed for 91 days (stayed outside UK),excluding days of travel,so what are my options ???
