Thanks mate. In SET (M) section 11 it asks for 6 letters or documents addressed to me and dependent jointly or separate letters but same address. They should cover 2 years. They should be from at least 3 different sources. Now does that mean 6 letters each from 3 sources or 2 each from each source. ...
Thanks ilrdep I presume you booked a SET(O) appointment in PEO. Did they allow you to be present as well for clarifications etc? Or will the PEO only allow my wife to get in? Secondly for proof - I see you have shown Council tax statements. I have Utility bills from the exact date but council tax bi...
Hi guys I was a Tier 1 visa holder and got my ILR recently. My wife is on PBS dependent visa which is valid until Sep 2014. She completes 2 years in the UK on April 2013. I checked in this forum earlier as well as with UKBA and seems she can continue on her existing PBS dependent visa even though my...
Hi ritswaney I am exactly in the same boat as yourself. My wife has valid PBS dependent visa until Sep 2014. She will complete 2 years in April 2013 and will eb eligible for ILR. I got my ILR last friday and I guess she can continue in her existign visa until april 2013 and direclt go for her ILR. 2...
Just bringing this back to Life again. Ref my last question - while being om Tier 1 PBS dependent visa in the above case where I have already migrated to ILR , can my wife travel in and out of the UK with her existing PBS dependent BRP card?
Just wondering - can the dependent travel in and out of the country with the Tier 1 dependent visa while the main applicant has already been granted ILR?
Thanks again[/quote]
Hi guys I know there have been some news that Life in UK test will be changed in Oct 2012. However when I visit the site they stil ask to follow the 2nd edition of the book which is based on 2001 census. Can someone kindly confirm if it has changed at all and if someone is taking a test mid-Jan that...
hi mods. i know it may be a similar duplicate query but if you can kindly help i will be deeply obliged. please help as i need to book the appo in a day or 2
well asked Nurul. even I am confused. So if a current tier 1 dependent can extend his/her visa even when the main applicant gets ILR and then completes 2 years and then goes for SET(O) then when is the English Language requirement actually needed? Btw I have taken the life in UK test which is mandat...
I complete 5 years on Tier 1 visa on 14th Jan 2013 and will be eligible for ILR. I also have my wife as dependent in the UK. Kindly note I had gone for a 2nd Tier-1 extension on May 2012 and both me and my wife have Tier-1 and Tier-1 dependent visa respectively, until 4th Sep 2014. Both of us will b...
The applicant in such circumstances should use SET(O) form and not SET(M) to apply for settlement as and when eligible for settlement. Yes. Hi Sush. reviving this old thread. I read the statement of changes (huge documents) but unable to find the above. Can you kindly give a bit more pointers. Than...
Hi friends I am planning to apply for my wife's ILR dependent visa after I get ILR. She came in on Tier -1 dependent visa and did not need to give any english language eligibility proof. Now as she will be dependent of person settled in the UK she needs a proof of the same and I am planning to go fo...
Thanks again. And sorry for keeping this topic alive ... can you kindly provide the link to the changes? And just confirming - so if a dependent who is currently on a valid Tier -1 dependent visa does not need to apply for FLR(M) to get SET(M) later if she qualifies for the 2 years period within the...
Thanks SushdMehta I actually went through a sticky thread before where it mentioned that to be able to apply for SET(M) one has to apply FLR(M) first - for dependents of ILR migrants. However in the link you mention a) If the PBS dependant's current leave will expire after he/she has completed the q...
Thanks Sushdmehta. That was very useful. You are right. This is very much dependent on the case worker. I will send an email to UKBA and see if I can get anything in writing. Do you think if they confirm then a prinout of such an email would be ok? Else only option left is for for PEO in Dec or Jan ...
Thanks Sushdmehta I had taken a 2nd Tier - 1 extension May this year and both my and my wife's current visa are valid until Sep 2014. Now I am eligible for PR in Jan 2013. My wife completes her 2 years in the UK on 7th April 2013. She came in on 7th April 2011. So though I will be eligible for ILR i...
Hi guys I am in Tier 1 and will be eligible for ILR on Jan. My wife completes 2 years in the Uk as Tier 1 dependent on 7th April 2013. Am I right in saying that I can use just the SET(O) form on and after 10th March 2013, given the dated above for both myself and my wife for ILR? Basically I heard s...
Tried looking all forums and there are lot of confusing text all around. as per this http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsfragments/65-fam-set If you applied to come to the UK or for permission to stay here on or before 8 July 2012 and that permission was granted, you will need to be in...
Hi friends
I have an upcoming Life in uk test and I had been using life in uk official book which was printed in 2011 though.
Just wondering has there been any differences in the 2011 and 2012 versions? I guess we are still in the 2nd edition of the book.
