If I see any post here that relates to section 6.2 of SET O form or evidences people had submitted,I will copy and paste the post URL The cases that I've n...

- to CR001 Why are you replying to a post from 2012??

i understand your concern about replying to dead posts but, people generally come around searching to this site through Google... some answers always help someone else...

When is your wife due to apply for ILR ? If she has sufficient time before that, a sure shot solution is to talk to the college/institution in India who issued her MBA degree. PBS guidelines stipulate that in case your degree is not identified on NARIC database (when you search on points based calcu...

1, No, you need the original LitUK test pass certificate
2. Your wife can visit Indian embassy and get a temporary travel document if they won't issue a replacement passport. However,
based on the police incident reference, they should do that for whatever fee they might charge

well, congrats mate! and thanks for putting up the information for others' use. The only concern I see with your case and the list of documents that you submitted is that more than half of the documents on that list are never required for ILR application using SET-O form even if you have been in the...

If the certificate clearly doesn't stipulate 'City & Guilds International ESOL Diploma' then I'm afraid that might be rejected by Home Office. Either call City & Guilds call centre / office and confirm that or as advised by the others here, take oneof the other exams. You might find this lis...

This question is a bit premature. Yes, as of now, ESOL Level-3 qualification is good enough for english language competency required for SET-O based ILR application but, then you specified you are due to apply in Nov 2014. Although unlikely but, the english language requirements might change by that...

The first thing you must do is lodge a FIR with the local police about the lost documents (even if you have not lost your passport and/or biometric permit). If and when you submit your application and submit photocopies, you will be asked for police incident reference number by Home office. This ans...

It is the worst nightmare come true, but there is 1 procedure in place to handle this situation - 1) You must lodge a FIR with the local police. At least lost passport (and/or if your wife had a biometric permit already issued before) must be reported to the police who will give an incident referenc...

That's right! You will be eligible to apply for ILR 28/07/2014 onward

This answer is based on the response of successful applicants who applied for ILR using SET-O form version 04/2013 and 12/2013

Your question has a rather limited context to it, so this answer is based on the following premise - That you will apply for yourself and your wife using the same SET-O form. - That you wife has never before applied for a UK visa where she'd had to provide a degree certificate or any other proof of ...

Yes, there have been many cases of where people have applied for ILR more than 28 day in advance of 5 year qualification period.
All the applications were outrightly rejected

This answer is based on failed applications using SET-O forms version 04/2013 and 12/2013

The delay in your case may be for a genuine reason as well, if your route to ILR has been rather complicated and needs further investigation. SERIOUS ADVICE - Unless you are seriously financially handicapped, NEVER apply for ILR by POST ! If you have an option to, then book a premium same day servic...

What you must do - 1) You must get a letter from your employer/employers confirming for each period of absence from the UK that you were on paid holidays. 2) Carry with you photocopies of all the immigration stamps on your passport (which is anyway a part of requisite documents - photocopies all pag...

1. Use section 8.B - Other Information of form SET-O and declare in 1-2 precise lines with exact dates of travel outside of the UK during the 5 year qualifying period when you were not in any employment, that you were - a) Not in any employment during that period b) The absence from the UK for that ...

1. ILR SETO page 14 section 6.2 & 6.3: -- You do not even need a personal letter to show any period of travel outside of the UK falling between any employment. Use the section 8B - Other Information on the SET-O form instead and specify that period with exact dates of travel and confirming that ...

You have to apply as an employee of your limited company. You must ensure 5 things - That your accountants- 1) Must give you monthly salary slips and interim dividend vouchers 2) Must also provide you with a letter confirming the figures on those salary slips and dividend vouchers 3) Must also provi...

The question also clearly states (the date on which your application for ILR is based). So, in this case, It will be your HSMP approval date i.e. 2008. Time spent in the UK on Student visa strictly does not count toward ILR qualification unless its a case of long residence (for which it is separate ...

Leave the section 6.11 blank if you have never stepped a foot in any crown dependency ever!
Section 6.2 covers all absences from the UK already.

This answer is based on actual response of other successful applicants who submitted their ILR application using form SET-0 version 12/2013
