Various queries regards SET (M) and application

[JulietKDelhi]

Hello all

We have various queries regards the SET (M) form which we would really appreciate your help with! My husband (Indian) is applying for his ILR to stay with me in the UK

1. My husband will have been in the UK for 2 years on the 22nd October 2013, however his VISA (Spouse VISA 2 years) expires on the 28th October 2013. This means we have a window of 6 days in which to submit our application (we will do this at the Public Enquiry Office, Belfast) I am concerned about this - if we have made the application and are in possession of the 'interview' date, can my husband stay in the UK and also can he stay working in the UK if the date is after the 28th October (which it is likely to be?)

2. Biometric Test - My husband is intending to enrol his biometric information through the post office - is he required to have this information when we submit our application to the Public Enquiry Office?

3. Section 2.27 - Joint financial responsibilities: Does this relate only to the like of mortgages etc or can we detail here things like rent (I realise this is covered in section

4. Section 8B - Extra detail: Is it suitbale to put personal information in this section, for example that we are dog owners/my own issues regards living in India again (safety/career restrictions)

Any help much appreciated and thank you in advance!!!

Hello all

We have various queries regards the SET (M) form which we would really appreciate your help with! My husband (Indian) is applying for his ILR to stay with me in the UK

1. My husband will have been in the UK for 2 years on the 22nd October 2013, however his VISA (Spouse VISA 2 years) expires on the 28th October 2013. This means we have a window of 6 days in which to submit our application (we will do this at the Public Enquiry Office, Belfast) I am concerned about this - if we have made the application and are in possession of the 'interview' date, can my husband stay in the UK and also can he stay working in the UK if the date is after the 28th October (which it is likely to be?) If you do an application at a PEO, you will get the outcome of the application on the day and receive the biometric residence permit with ILR about a week or 2 after the appointment. Your husband can apply up to 28 days before his 2 year residency anniversary, so anytime after 25th or 26th September. He needs to apply before his visa expiry date otherwise you might encounter problems and he probably won't be allowed to work.

2. Biometric Test - My husband is intending to enrol his biometric information through the post office - is he required to have this information when we submit our application to the Public Enquiry Office? Biometrics are done on the day when he attends the PEO and is part of the process in submitting his application on the day. He does not have to do this beforehand.

3. Section 2.27 - Joint financial responsibilities: Does this relate only to the like of mortgages etc or can we detail here things like rent (I realise this is covered in section Any joint responsibilities : rent, gas, electric, council tax, etc

4. Section 8B - Extra detail: Is it suitbale to put personal information in this section, for example that we are dog owners/my own issues regards living in India again (safety/career restrictions) Not necessary to provide information that is not relevant if it is a straightforward application.

Any help much appreciated and thank you in advance!!!
