New SET M Form Consent Verification Checks

[AzimScot]

Hi,

Just filling out my SET M form and I found something interesting that I didn’t see before on the previous version that they now ask for the applicant, spouse, and relative other party consent to undergo checks with banks and utility companies. I am wondering without this consent I guess the immigration are not allowed to view client bank and utility details is that correct? Isn’t it against the law without having consent unless its criminal activity?

Thanks.

As far as I recall it's always been included on the SET(M) application. If you want the application to go through smoothly you'll have to give your consent.
Why would you consider withholding this?

Hi,

Has anyone been turned away or rejected from immigration because they had only 3 months wage slips or even bank statements?

Thanks.

My husband got his ILR granted yesterday the case worker did not even look at bank statements or payslips but took husbands P60 thou the whole day went well.

3months of both should be fine thats the requirement anyway x
