Thank you

Hi everyone, Please could you let me know if I need to provide a cover letter with my SET (M) application? We are applying online obviously, and won't be attending in person. Biometrics are on Friday. I have a very basic cover letter but do we basically need to plead our case for ILR?! Or just state...

Hey, I've got all my docs ready and I just wanted to check if I had anything before I submit. Proof of application - applicant passport - all pages - partner signed declaration Other Cover letter Residence in the UK - Council tax bill showing yearly costs - Signed tenancy agreement from 2018 and ext...

Thank you for all your help so far guys. We are just uploading our evidence and stupidly don't have 6 letters addressed to us both. Will the below suffice? Addressed to both: March 2019 Electricity Bill Sept 2019 Electricity Bill January 2020 Bank Letter January 2021 Council Letter Addressed to appl...

I hope you are filling the online form?? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-to-settle-in-the-uk-form-setm/apply-online-form-setm 4 years 11 months is fine. To be on the safe side book biometrics only when you complete full 5 years. These days biometrics appointments are running ...

Ok great - thank you. So I am eligible to apply now, and have until visa expiry to submit it - is that correct?

With that in mind, I am trying to work out whether to wait until more fast-track services open up as I don't really fancy the 6 month turnaround if I can help it.

Hi guys,

I wondered if anyone had any advice on my above questions? Super stuck on these and I think its my final hurdle before submitting.

Thanks

Also - I am hoping to submit this week. The last payslip and bank statement that I have correlates to my last payday which was 28th January 2021. My Feb payslip is issued on the 28th and my bank is so annoying with my statements that I'd rather submit now prior to my feb pay and payslip, so I don't ...

Hi guys - me again! Just filling out the SET (M) form and coming unstuck at the below question under the 'Finance' section. Background: We are applying with my salary only (sponsor) and my base earnings exceed the requirement. I do sometimes have discretionary bonuses etc which are covered off in th...

Thank you, that's a relief :). Do my documents need to be dated 28 days prior to submitting the SET (M) form, or 28 days prior to the Biometrics appt? Thanks again p.s. noted on the topics, sorry for spamming! Did you have any advice on my above queries at all? I've been trawling the forum to try to...

Hi guys, just wanted to bump this to see if anyone had any advice? I am tempted to leave this off to avoid any confusion.

Hi everyone, We will be submitting my partners SET (M) evidence next week, and I need to ask my employer to sign my payslips and my letter confirming employment. Due to the pandemic will they accept a digital signature done on DocuSign or a similar program? My entire team is working remotely so I ha...

He doesn't have a US passport and has never lived there

Hi guys, I just wanted to check on my above question and if anybody was able to help? I'm also filling out the SET (M) form right now and could do with some advise on the below question: Do you currently hold, or have you ever held, any other nationality or citizenship? My husband (applicant) is Aus...

Thank you! I am collating our proof of cohabitation since our last application (October 2018) and I have the below: Joint correspondance: 5 x pieces from 3 x sources Correspondance to applicant: 10 x pieces from 4 x sources Correspondance to sponsor: 10 x pieces from 6 x sources Should I submit the ...

Steps to follow after completing the form online: Step 1: Pay and submit application via UKVI. Tip: Date of application is the date you pay and submit online, biometrics date is irrelevant. Step 2: After payment, you will reach “further actions page.” If you click on “book an appointment,” system w...

Hey everyone, I wondered if you could help with a query I have about my husbands ILR application. He is currently here on a Spouse visa and will have been here 5 years in March, so we will be applying soon. Individually, we both earn over the financial threshold for this type of visa. However my hus...

Hey Cullinan, I just wondered if you would be able to help me to understand the process for this application - as last time we applied at a fast track appointment so all the biometrics etc were done at the same time. With the premium centres being closed, we will submit online, so I'm a bit of a nov...

Heya,

Yes, we are doing the online form .

Thanks for the advice! We will submit the form 28 days prior to 5 years and book the biometrics when we hit 5 years. Thanks so much!

Hi everyone, Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere but I can't see anything on this when I search. We are applying for my husbands ILR via the SET (M) form, he has lived here since 2016 as my spouse. We will be applying 28 days before he has lived here 5 years (to try to get in as soon as possi...

Thats ok, good luck tomorrow!

No problem - I know how much this forum helped me! I didn't write anything else in section B as I felt everything was covered off in the form, I think that section is just for like extreme circumstances where there may be more information to be stated that is not obvious from the rest of the form. I...
