Hi everyone
I am applying for ILR as PBS dependent(5-year route) along with my daughter. (My husband became a British citizen in 2019.)
I understood that I need to use the SET(O) form for applying for ILR.
Below is the link I used for the application. Could you please confirm if this is the right link to be used?
https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... 1688480157
However, for the below question, I don't see any PBS-dependent option from below.
Should I mention PBS Dependent in the "other purposes or reasons not covered by other application forms" option in the text box provided?
A)In which category are you applying for indefinite leave to remain?

could you please provide the correct link if I choose the wrong one for SET(O) for PBS Dependent?
Before asking the next question, I will provide some background of my stay in UK.
I am in UK from 2009 to 2011 on and off (which means staying for shorter durations of 3 months or so for multiple times in UK) In Tier 2 ICT and went back to India and stayed till October 2013.
From Nov 2013 till now I am on PBS dependent visa. In 2016 November I went to India for maternity and came back to UK in Apr 2018. At that time, we thought as there is a break of 17 months for continuous residency in UK even though I am PBS dependent, I did not apply for ILR in 2018 November thinking that the application might be rejected and just extended my PBS Dependent application for 3 more years and so on.
Now I am applying for ILR as PBS Dependent for the stay from Apr 2018 to till date.
Now in the application form, I came across the below questions and requires your help
B)Time in the UK
How long have you lived in the UK?
Should I mention the time of stay in regards to this application as 5 years 3 months or should I mention my entire total stay of Tier 2 ICT and all PBS dependent duration?
C)Other countries you have lived in
Have you previously lived in a country outside the UK including your country of birth?
For this question, I traveled only to India other than UK from my birth.
should I provide all my stay in India and UK from birth till date or just my stay in India?(As I have entered UK many times and went back to India.)
D)Your home and finances
I have my own limited company and I used to work before. But from the last 3 years, I am not working but I did not close my limited company even though I dont take any salary or no money comes into the company account. I am just maintaining the company by filing the basic things required for running a limited company for the namesake as I want to work later.
In regards to above
Are you working in the UK? Should I say yes or No
[Actually, I am not working but there is a limited company for which I am director even though no operations are going on in it}
E) Documents Section
Other grounds for wanting to stay in the UK
Do you have any other reasons for wanting to stay in the UK?
(Required)
I do not have any other reasons for wanting to stay in the UK
I have other reasons for wanting to stay in the UK
As per my case, should I select the option of " I do not have any other reasons for wanting to stay in UK " as my Kid is also an Indian citizen and she will be also applying for ILR along with me? Or is it mandatory,that I should give them any other proper reason to stay in UK?
F) For Evidence of finance, since I am dependent on my husband, should I show any bank statements or employment letters of my husband? Also, should I show any cohabitation proofs like utility bills that we are staying at the same address for 5 years? Generally what type of documents are required to be shown for PBS dependents applying for ILR?
Apologies for the lengthy note for queries but thought to put all my queries clearly so that I can get the right answers from you.
Thanks for your help in advance
