HELP!!! No more paper applications!

Post by magicvoice » Thu Nov 01, 2018 9:10 am

As of today 1st November, the paper application for ILR (I'm Set M) is no longer available on the Government's website. It says all applicants must now apply online. I have already booked my in-person PEO appointment for 14th November. I've already printed and filled out my application and paid. Do I just take it along as I would normally or do I now apply online an then go to the appointment? There is zero guidance anywhere and I will not call as I'm 100% sure that none of the people there will know anything either. ANY info on this change is greatly appreciated as I'm only 14 days away from doing this! Many Thanks in advance.

For the period between until 29th November, from reading their guidance, it says you can choose to use the existing one or new one. So, I guess you can use your existing paper application.

Okay, thanks. The main problem here is that I now have no way of knowing if I will now be submitting the correct application. I had the latest version downloaded/printed. It hasn't changed since 7/2018 but if there is a newer version, I will no longer have access to the paper version and they could potentially refuse me on the basis of not submitting the latest version.

Could you post a link to where you saw that guidance re: November 29th? I can't see that anywhere on the website.

Hi magicvoice,

Please can you share the pdf form (the July 2018) version?
We have an appointment for next week and I was about to download the form today and can't find it.

Please can you email a copy of the blank application form for SET(M) 07/2018 version? We have the appointment next week and I can't find the downloaded pdf on my computer anymore! I can provide an email address.

Thanks!

I am in the same problem. I called home office today and they have advised me that I should be able to attend my appointment on 14th. Dont know I am in a dilemma. The date of the application is actually the date when you attend the appointment date, not when we book. It is clearly written that from 01.11.18, paper form for SETO cant be used. Should I take risk? If I cancel and redo the whole thing again, I will hve to make new appointment and possibly I might not get one before my current visa runs out. Its fully booked for next 45 days. Any help please.
