ILR Eligibility

[zimba]

Yes, it will be OK. However, note that she can only apply for ILR on her own using form SET(LR). The child must apply separately using form SET(LR) or SET(F)

Thanks for confirming, Zimba. Is there any disadvantage here? I suppose my spouse and my 2 children will have to apply separately using set LR, as their dates are exactly same. They will end up having 3 separate applications with separate biometric appointments to be booked. Is that the disadvantage here? But, hopefully not much documentation here, which is an advantage. Just passports & Life in the UK (for my spouse). Rest everyhting were already provided in earlier applications. I suppose they all can apply on the same dates as well.

[zimba]

Yes, the disadvantage is separate applications

[tj123]

Hi Zimba,

I am now uploading the documents, for separate LR applications.
For my spouse only passports & consent form.
For my children, passports & consent forms with both part A & B signed by both parents I suppose. Anything else required for them? Checklist has too many documents.

[zimba]

Like what ?

[tj123]

Letter of consent from your parent(s) or legal guardian(s)
A letter of consent that confirms:
the relationship between you and your parent(s)/legal guardian(s)
consent from your parent(s)/legal guardian(s) to the application
consent from your parent(s)/legal guardian(s) to the living arrangements in the United Kingdom and
the address where you will be staying
whether one or both of your parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have responsibility for you
Both parents/legal guardians must sign the letter of consent, except where only one parent/legal guardian has sole responsibility for you.

- Is this just the consent form PART B? Am I confused that it needs a separate form with proofs for these?

Documents supporting my other reasons to stay in the UK

For my younger child (13 years), case worker has now come back with the below:
-------------------
Ref: xxxxx

In order to proceed with the above Indefinite Leave to Remain application under form SET (F), you are required to demonstrate that you can be adequately maintained and accommodated in the UK without recourse to public funds, in accordance with Home Office requirements.

To enable us to assess this, please provide the following documents relating to your financial circumstances and household arrangements:

Proof of your accommodation costs including your rent/mortgage payment and your council tax liability
Proof of your household income, including a recent payslip from anyone in the household who is working and earning an income

Please send your documents electronically to xxxx
--------------------
Wonder why they are askign these documents for a set LR application. It was not set (F)
ANyone has a similar previous experience, please?

[zimba]

This requirement applies to all family route settlement applications. SET(F) is an application under family route

[tj123]

Sorry Zimba, if I didnt make it clear. It was a set LR applictaion, not set F

[zimba]

Sorry Zimba, if I didnt make it clear. It was a set LR applictaion, not set F

The note says you applied for SET(F) ??

[tj123]

Exactly. We shared the documents asked and pointed out that the application was set LR and not set F. Case worker acknowledged the mistake
