Hi,
I have been reading various posts on immigrationboards for my query but unfortunately I couldn't get a suitable answer to my question. I would really appreciate if you can help me with the following query.
I came to UK on Tier 2 General Visa and now I have ILR. My wife came later and has had 2 BRPs with "Type of Permit" as "PBS Dependant". She had one more extension after I got ILR and the "Type of Permit" on her BRP as "Dependant Partner" - I had applied extension based on Skilled Worker dependant route.
She is eligible for ILR now given she has completed 5 years in UK. I am confused about which form to use - SET(M) or SET(O). From whatever I have read on the forum, it seems SET(O) should be the preferred option.
However, If I look at this link -https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/set-m, it says you should use SET(M) if your:
current leave to remain is as the partner of a British citizen, settled person, or person with refugee leave or humanitarian protection and that leave is on the 5 year route and you have completed at least 5 years with leave on that route.
current leave to remain is as the parent of a child present and settled in the UK on the 5 year route and you have completed at least 5 years with leave on that route.
the first option seems to fit my partner's case.
It also says do not use SET(M) if
your current leave to remain is as the partner of a PBS migrant, you have completed 5 years in the UK under this route, and you want to apply for settlement using this route. Instead you should apply using form SET(O)
when I click on the link for partner of a PBS migrant, it talks about dependants of Tier1 visa.
