UK Children's document requirements for SET (M) ILR application

[brucey101]

Dear sir or madam

The 06/17 version of the Set (M) form, under documents (section 12a) states for 'all applicants'

If you have children under the age of 18 in the UK (or children who are over 18 and who have been granted leave in this category as your dependent), you must provide the following documents for each child:

And then lists a reasonably long list of documents e.g. birth certificate, passport, evidence of you/your partner's parental responsibility etc.

Am I right in assuming that this is only relevant where either:
(i) The child is a subject of the SET (M) application; or
(ii)You are applying under Family life as a parent.

I.e. in my wife's case, she is applying under Family life as a Partner, I am a UK citizen, and our 2 children (both under 18) are UK citizens. I've assumed (based on common sense and the information I've read on this forum on how Section 3 should be approached in this circumstance) that we don't need to provide these documents for our child. However, if you were to read the instructions literally I would need to provide the evidence.

Appendix FM-SE does not appear to shed any light on the matter.

Please could you advise if we should provide as much as this information as possible for our British children or if it is just sufficient to make a note in Section 3.9 and send their British passports with the application.

Many thanks in advance for your advice.

Bruce Fitzgerald.

Hi Bruce,

I'm in the exact same situation - did you find an answer to your question?


Thanks,
