Question on absences from UK in Set(O) form

[zimba]

No. You are nitpicking as the titles do not matter. There is NO specific document requirement for cohabitation evidence at all. Provide whatever you have as they are

Dear experts,

Please help me on this question - I am currently applying for ILR using Set(O) form on my 5-year Tier-2 skilled worker visa route, and in the form there is a question on "the date you first entered the UK when the period of stay you are basing this application on started" My 5-year skilled worker visa was issued on 14 September 2018, although before that I have been holding student visas since 31 August 2013. So which date should I enter for the above question as my first UK entry date? 14 September 2018 or 31 August 2013?

The following question in my set(O) form asks me: "Since you first entered the UK, have you had any absences from the UK?" Should I declare all my absences since 31 August 2013 including those on my student visas? Or should I only declare my absences on my current Tier-2 skilled worker visa since 14 September 2018? My current Tier-2 employer could only prove my absences after 14 September 2018 during my employment.

Thank you

I am now inclined to say that you must be trolling here. If you do not trust the advice given here, then why come back and ask at all ??? Why did you start a new post to ask the same thing which has been answered over and over in this thread ?? You were repeatedly advised on this issue.

It seems you do not want to let this thing go. The date you put on the form has no bearing on the ILR application. This has now been emphasised many many times. The date of first entry to the UK will suffice for the answer to that question

Also, children do NOT have any residence requirements for ILR. They settle when both parents settle (or will settle with them)

Absences ONLY in the ILR qualifying period should be declared, so declare absence since your first Tier 2 visa. There is no point in declaring irrelevant absences from 2013

Hello Zimba,

I apologize, sorry for asking the same question again and again, please forgive me.

I also have a few questions related to the police:

(1) Our child got lost a few years ago and we called 999, the police found him and sent him back home. The police recorded my name and other information and then left (no further action was taken);

(2) My wife was practice driving a car herself in an empty car park with provisional licence, and the police came and told us I should sit next to her as a full licence holder, and we also need to stick "L" label to our car. We agreed to do that, and the police left without taking our personal information. No further action was taken.

(3) Our kids were riding scooters once without helmets, they were stopped by the police and were told to be careful and should wear helmets. The police did not take any of our personal information and left. No further action was taken.

Should we declare any of the above incidents as police warning/cautions in our ILR applications?

Thank you again.

You yourself said no further action was taken in 1. and no details taken in 2. and 3 so does not require declaring. You are overthinking everything.

Dear AmazonianX and Zimba,

Many thanks for your continuous help, I have now submitted my ILR application. After payment I see the webpage let me download the consent forms for HO to perform verification checks, but I have already downloaded the same form from HO website and signed it. Is it ok for our signed consent forms dated earlier than my ILR application date?

Thank you

[zimba]

I do not think it makes no difference

I do not think it makes no difference

Thank you Zimba,

Do you mean we can have our signed consent forms dated earlier than our ILR application date?

Thank you

[zimba]

It is just a form. What would it take to print a new one and sign again ??
