set m ILR Application, help

Dear all hope you can help.
I am preparing for my husbands Ilr application.
My back ground: currently hold ILR- had permanent residence card before-but had to change due to brexit under euss. Divorcee of eea national -have two children and now remarried .
I think i have made a big mistake. I just went through the copy of my Previous FLRM APPLICATION . I think i filled the form wrongly. under these question:
1) What type of visa or leave did your partner use as
the basis of their settlement- I wrote PERMANENT RESIDENCE CARD.(i thought they were asking for what documents i hold in the name of settlement- ediot me- i should have wrote FAMILY VISA-EEA NATIONAL)
2)Was your partner ever given a visa or leave as the
partner of a settled person?- I wrote YES. (I thought my ex husband was settled as i was able to get family visa through that marriage. idiot me again-i should have wrote NO as he as never settled then- he was under eu free movement-
I genuinely misunderstood the context of the question that was aked. I dont know how to correct it? do you think i should write a cover letter?? The thing is there is exact same question in SET M form too. As i am going to put it correctly this time , i am worried what if they compare the information i provided between both forms and decided to raise a issue on it?
NOTE: My flrm application was successful and no question was raised. In the flrm application i also had to put my ex husband details, which i did -
Can you guys suggest me what should i do now?


During FLRM application i had to submit my children's birth certificates as a evidence although my husband(applicant) was not their biological father. We also send couple of letters from school and GP along with child maintenance (CMS) yearly calculation letter to confirm that they live with me and i am their primary carer.

My question is do i have to send their birth certificates again? plus these other documents -school/gp letter, csa letter??

Under Evidence of Monthly housing cost and council tax cost - should i just put the current tenancy agreement and the current year council tax bill or for last 2.5 years. we have only recently renewed our tenancy agreement. we were under same tenancy(2019) for last 4 years before this renewal.

I have gathered following document to go with the set m ILR application. I would be very grateful if you could tell me if i am missing anything.
- Spouse Declaration Form
- consent form part 1 2 3
Applicant old and new passport. (all paged scan)
Applicant Current BRP.( we don't have his old BRP , we have already send it for dismantle)
Sponsor old and New passport( all paged scan)
sponsor permanent residence card9Scanned vignett copy)
Sponsor ILR ( PRC changed to ILR under EUSS)

- Land Lord Letter
- current Tenancy Agreement. (should i send the old tenancy agreement also dated 2019? we didn't renewed
for past 4 years- we were living under the same terms.
- Council tax bil

- Employment letter
- Contract
- p60
- 6 month pay slip ( we are still under £18600 isn't it?)
- 6 month bank statement corresponding to the date and the pay on the pay slip

Proof of cohabitation- under joint name
- june electricity-joint
- october- water-joint
- march- council- joint
-july-electricity and gas9Combined Quarterly bill) joint
- october- water-joint
- march- council-joint
- july-Electricity & Gas (combined quarterly bill) joint
- october- water(joint)

( we have changed to a new supplier- our gas and electricity bill doesn't say dated- it says generated on the top right-do you think this should be ok? never had a bill like this before)
( also we lost the original council bill for this year, so we had to download from online- it looks little different, my husband is not after my names, it is on the right side inside the box- other liable person - my husband name is in a very small letter- will this be a issue??
(just a question- can i use TFL Letter as a proof of cohabitation? is it considered solid like hmrc, dvla etc)

Please guide me if i am missing something?

You had a thread in 2023 because you failed to apply to settle under EUSS but I assume you got that sorted and now you have settlement under EUSS ??
Your thread from 2023: https://www.immigrationboards.com/viewt ... p?t=341253

Also, what is your current husband's immigration history ?

yes, its sorted now. I have received Indefinite Leave to Remain under EUSS now.
My husband - came to uk on spouse visa in September 1st 2019,FLRM extension - 20 May 2022 - now due to apply for ILR before his current visa expire.

The previous FLR(M) application does not matter. Go ahead with the SET(M) as usual with the documents above

Thank you zimba for your reply.
May I also ask if I need to submit my childrens birth certificate again with some letter on my childrens name ? Or I don’t need to send now? My husband is not their biological father. I also send the child maintenance paperwork last time(it was not requested last time but I send them anyway for the full picture ) Thank you for your help.

I assume their biological father has already settled in the UK and before you. Then the children could have settled with you. Not sure why you think the children's immigration status depends on your current husband

Thank you zimba for always replying. We were asked to provide my childrens birth certificate and their father’s proof of address. (One letter under his name ) during flrm extension. They haven’t asked this time on the documents list . I was just checking to confirm if I was missing something.
Thaa as nm you for clarifying .

It is not needed

Hi, they have not asked to provide my marriage certificate and divorce certificate this time. Should I send them any way or leave it if they have not asked. Thank you.

Again, not needed. They do not want the same document as it is on their system.
The visa was issued based on your marriage to begin with

Hi, may I ask if i do (sponsor) need to scanned all the pages of my passport too?
Thank you

No

Hi, I have been recently granted( August )ILR.( took ages).my ILR has got an issue date (August this year)on it.It looks like I have had this ILR since 3 months ago. Only. Should I write a cover letter to explain I was on a permanent residence card before for 10 years and now moved to ILR due to the change in immigration policy following the Brexit. I am worried if the eco officer gets confused and think I should not have sponsored my husband on the first place as I didn’t had ILR when my husband submitted his first spouse visa and later FLRM.
Or should I just leave it ,as home office are well aware of this changes and they know it and let my ILR speak for itself.
Sorry, I know I may be over thinking but would greatly appreciate your suggestions.

You are overthinking every random thing and now suggesting UKVI did not know what they were doing. They knew what they were doing as at that time EEA legislation still applied. EUSS simply made the PR status issued under EEA legislation to be recognised as ILR under the UK immigration rules as EEA legislation ceased to exist after Brexit. You had PR before going through with EUSS and your husband qualified for a family visa which was issued under the UK immigration rules. Your transitioning from PR to ILR changes nothing (it was just a legal status transition). Nothing to worry

Thank you zimba for replying always. Since that euss thing (last year)- as u know I was not aware about the changes) I have been very cautious about everything specially immigration things.

hi, i think i have lost the original council bill of this year, which was sent in post by council. I have download it from the online account but it is not like original one. Only my name and the address is on the right side. My husband name (faintly written)is on the far left side inside the box under the Other Liable persons. On the original ones both me and my husband name are together followed by the address. Can i still use this a a proof of cohabitation as a joint letter?

Even in the Thames water bill only my name and the address is on the Right side. My husband name is again on the left side under the Additional Account holders. I think it is not directly visible. Some one has to look around to see it.
Can i use both of them as proof of cohabitation under joint names??
any help will be appreciated .
Thank you.

Yes.

You should not listen to them. There is no requirement to send joint letters or any requirement under the rules for that matter. I already explained that in the link above. When someone is making a claim, they must be able to show that either in the immigration rules or the official guides, otherwise they better stop giving advice

thank you very very much Zimba, you are Amazing-
i have gathered following proof of cohabitation- would be really grateful if you could tell if they are ok
