Form SET(M) -- Guidance required for the questions in this form

Hi,
I have completed 5 years in UK, I came to UK on Dependant visa, My husband is now British Citizen.

I want to apply for ILR application however, I came to india for my baby delivery and stayed in india for 198 days. ( From May to Nov 2018)
I read in the website that from 11 Jan 2018, the rule continuity residency has changed and i can not live outside UK for more than 180 days any 12 months.

I am going to apply for ILR in August 2019. & if i calculate the outside days from august 2019 to august 2018 its only 85 days.

I am not sure, what should i do, shall i apply for ILR or FLR?

Can somebody help me on this?

Thanks!

The 180 days rule only applies to PBS dependants whose visa was issued AFTER 11 Jan 2018. When was you last visa issued ?

Thank you so much for the reply.Much Appreciated!!

I came to UK in June 2014 & my Visa was till Feb 2017.
My last visa was issued on Feb 2017 which is expiring on Aug 2019.

As per your reply, I should be able to apply for ILR application. Is that correct?

Thank You!

Yes, you have no absence limit

Thank you!

Hi Team,

I first came to UK in June 2014 on Spouse Visa. My Husband was ILR on that time.

Now, I completed 5 years and and My husband is a British citizen. We have a one year old daughter who is British citizen.

My Visa is due in August, I am applying for ILR via SET(M) Form. I hope this is correct?

This Form has many questions which is bit confusing and different from FLR form. Can someone please guide me on below queries.

Question 1 : Other grounds for wanting to stay in the UK-Do you have any other reasons for wanting to stay in the UK?
Please suggest, What should I fill in this question?

Question 2 : Could you and your partner live together outside the UK if necessary?
Please suggest, Shall I mention yes or No here? Did not understand the reason for this question?

Question 3 : In financial Section, I am providing details of my husband's income ( he is permanent employee).
I am also permanent employee and working, Shall I provide all my income as well?

Question 4 : There is no question which asks for my child details. shall I mention about my child in some separate letter or not?

For below question, if somebody can suggest if my qnswers are right or shall I mention more.
Question 5 :Do you have any family in your country of birth, nationality or any other country where you have lived for more than 5 years?

You mentioned previously you are on PBS dependant visa now you are saying you entered under spouse visa. Which one is it ???!

Hi Zimba,

I mentioned earlier that I am on dependant visa which is 'Spouse/Partner Leave to remain' Visa.

I never mentioned that I m on PBS .

Thanks

Dependent visa is the PBS dependant visa and not the spouse visa So you are under FLR(M)
People under the spouse visa have no absence limit.

Hi zimba,

Yes that's correct. That was answer for my previous post which you already replied.

However, I need answers to my queries in this post which is related to SET(M) form.Please help me wth this.


Many thanks!

Just to clarify, As per my knowledge:-

My Visa is 'Spouce/Partner Leave to remain'.
I have completed 5 years now from 2014-2019.
I have filled FLR(M) in 2017 for visa extension.
Considering No absence limit for Spouse visa, I am now applying for ILR and filling SET(M) form.

Please suggest if I am wrong somewhere.

Question 1 : Other grounds for wanting to stay in the UK-Do you have any other reasons for wanting to stay in the UK?

Can someone please reply..


Thanks!

Answer the questions as you wish and truthfully. They have no effect on your ILR. They are not trick questions
You do not need to mention your husband's income if you do not rely on it
