applying for ILR? eligibility, documents questions and new VCAS system

[nguptagla]

Hi AJPS,

Your post is very detailed and helpful especially for someone like me who is just about to start the ILR application for main applicant and dependants.

I have a particular situation that I need some guidance on:

1. I'm living in the UK from June 2011. I arrived with employer sponsored visa and on 25 August 2014 (Visa Start date) my other half moved to T2G and I changed to PBS dependant leave to Remain.
Q A) I understand that the eligible date for ILR application for main applicant now is 28 days before visa expiry/5 years on T2G?
Q B) PBS dependant visa was applied from here in the UK and the BRP says start date as 29th Sept. I must have applied the visa by post on 12 Sept 14. Now can I apply the ILR for dependants by post before August 25 (that being dependants visa expiry date)?

Lastly if you have similar document requirement details for SETM then that would be great for reference.

Cheers - N
