could my application be rejected if at the time of my biometrics I am yet to complete 5 years of residence?

No.

Would the biometrics appointment have to be after 28th August 2024 to ensure 5 years of residence?

No.

Thank you Zimba for your post. Actually , this is her third extension on family route. On form FLR M spouse of settled person?? If she has done a third extension on FLR M, why hasn't she applied for ILR yet? When did you get ilr? Or did she only switch to FLR M spouse of settled person this year an...

Thank you contorted_svy

So no need to upload any documents eg. my divorce petition? Just a mention in cover letter will do?

Your divorce is irrelevant to a naturalisation application. Nothing needs to be mentioned or submitted about this.

Yes, B1 English and liuk.

1. It is form SET O for all of you.

2. Your son only qualifies for ILR when your spouse does. If you are not all applying together, he can only apply when your spouse does.

3. Yes, but you first in your own and then dependents.

No, you cannot combine dependent visa time and main visa holder time to make up 5 years for ILR.

You need 5 years as dependent OR 5 years as main skilled worker visa holder.

if she convinced her employer to sponsor her, will the previous tier 2 time count or not ? No, each time she changes from main visa holder to dependent or vice versa, her 5 year ilr clock resets. So if she changes back to skilled worker visa, the previous time on that visa doesn't count for 5 years...

The question now, when I apply in Jan 26 for the Ilr, What is my best option in this complicated circumstance? No, she does not qualify for ILR when you do. She needs 5 years on a dependent visa. She cannot combine her visas to make up 5 years for ILR. She can only do that for ILR based on 10 years...

If you are married to a British citizen, it is an application based on 3 years residence and you do not need to wait 12 months on ilr.

I was merely indicating you don't qualify for citizenship yet.

Read the first to words I typed again in my response.

Where do you conclude I said it does not count??

Citizenship is not an immigration application where certain visas are excluded from a qualifying period.

It counts. Why would it not count? It is a visa.

And unless you are married to a British citizen, you don't qualify for citizenship yet.

Could you please clarify this further? My wife holds an Indian passport, so she cannot use it as proof of residence. Are you saying that I can provide the stamped pages of my (the main applicant's) British passport? It is HER passport stamps to prove residence. Not your passport! She is the applica...

You don't require address proof!! You need proof of residence, which is all stamped pages of the passport(s).

Fine for referees.

Naric should be fine.

You need to wait for 12 months on ILR.

The child can be registered as Britain on form MN1 and does NOT need ILR.

Is this the same spouse you asked about in May 2022??

BRP of the valid/most recent grant
SeT (O) is correct, no evidence of cohabitation asked for on the route

Cohabitation evidence for last 2 years is required, to prove subsisting relationship.

Not sure why you sent your passports to UKVI.

Did you apply online?

Where did you enroll your biometrics, at UKCVAS?

No original documents are sent to UKVI anymore.

You are overthinking. Different visa categories have different forms with different questions!!

Applications and rules differ depending on the visa a person holds. It is not a one size fits all.

You should only be following official websites, rules or guidance, not YouTube!!

Would be very grateful if you can let me know of any successful application as this is my key issue! Can confirm a successful application. ILR long residence, in the country since 2012, absences between May 2014 and May 2024 above 700 days. No single absence above above 184 days, and no absences in...

If I'm applying separate my child which form I need to use SET O or SET F

You add your child to your set o form!

So just to be sure and i got this correct "If i change my Job and after her current dependent leave to enter visa expires, she can extend to same category? She must extend her visa BEFORE it expires and yes, she extends in the same visa category for 3 years. Your job is irrelevant to her visa ...

My last question is: I obtained settled status on May 2019. 5 years of lawful residence has passed since then. I need to wait 1 more year because one requirement for British citizenship is 5 years of continuous residence and 12 months after obtained settled status. So total 5+1 years. Thank you all...
