ILR - Parent route or spouse route?
Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 5:58 pm
I'm applying for my ILR next month... There seem to be two routes on the home office website. I was wondering which would be the best route for me. I am Indian married to a British national. We have a 11 month old son together. Should I go the spouse route or the parent route?
'Form SET(M)
You can use form SET(M) to apply to settle here as the husband, wife, civil partner or unmarried/same-sex partner of a British citizen or someone who is settled here.
Form SET(F)
Form SET(F) is for settlement applications by family members (except partners) of British citizens or people who are settled here. You can apply using form SET(F) if you are:
a child aged under 18 of a parent, parents or a relative who is a permanent resident of the UK and currently living here;
the adopted child aged under 18 of a parent or parents who are permanent resident of the UK and currently living here; or
the parent, grandparent or other dependant relative aged 18 or over of a person who is a permanent resident of the UK and currently living here'.
Thanks and regards
