Help on definition of “parent” on SETM form
Posted: Sun Feb 16, 2020 9:37 pm
I have searched though this board and not seen this answered so I am hoping someone can help me.
I am applying for SetM ILR for me and for my dependent child. Dependent child has no father on BC and I am sole parent. My husband is British Citizen. My husband has a step-parent parental responsibility Agreement through the British courts for child. We also have another child together (British).
In filling out the SETM forms for me and the dependent child, there are two questions that are giving me difficulty:
1. Do you have any children whose parent is not your partner?
And then on the dependent’s application:
2. Confirm who your parents or legal guardians are (with the guidance Note at this question saying: “Parents include biological, adoptive and step-parents.”)
I have currently Answered
YES to Number 1.
And then listed my husband as a parent for question number 2 above, and indicated that the nature of this relationship is that of step-parent.
Is this correct? It seems as if I am using different definitions of “parent” but only the second question has this directive note.
