Please stick to this thread for all your application queries. You can apply under the long residence without any issues. You seem to have incorrectly interpreted the note on the form SET(LR). That note simply says to avoid using form SET(LR) if you intend to apply for ILR under the FAMILY ROUTE rul...

Due to recent (clearly rushed) changes made to the long residence rules that could render some people ineligible for ILR under that route. See: https://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=336067 Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! In my situation I've had a very straigh...

Evening all, I've now completed my 10 years of legal stay in the UK and will be applying for ILR in November. However I'm confused with which form I have to use. My first three grants were as a Parent of British child. But then the final extension was as a wife, because my British child is now a 24 ...

There are two 10-year routes to ILR for such a person. One is the long residence route and the other is the 10-year family route. For the long residence, form SET(LR) is used: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/set-lr For the 10-year family route, form settlement-adult-relative is use...

That rule applies only for the lawful residence during the qualifying period. They do also look at breaches in the 10 years before the application. Breaches i.e. - criminal convictions, council tax debt, etcetra For immigration breaches ie - overstaying, illegal entry they have now changed it to 5 ...

Thank you for reply, I believe that on June 2022 Nationality and Borders Act 2022 (NABA 2022) has amended this law, which states basically that they might disregard immigration breaches before 5 years if some other conditions as a good character are meet. Prior to 28 June 2022, immigration breaches...

Do I have to submit any supporting documents for cohabitation and subsisting marriage since my previous visa grant?

No.

Or would the minimum list of documents ie passports, English test, LIUK test (as been advised on this forum) will suffice?

Yes.

Thank you!

Evening all! I've almost completed my 10 year long legal residence (although my actual residence is closer to 25 years 😔). I'm going to apply for ILR based on long residence, although my latest leave to remain was granted as a wife of British citizen (my previous 3 grants were for a parent of Britis...

You are overthinking a lot and do not compare your circumstances to someone else's. Each case is different to the other.

Thank you!

You can be together with someone and not term it a relationship or committed relationship. That's why you sometimes hear that a relationship is not official or it is I E. Do not fret yourself on what's is not Yes this makes sense of course! I just wanted to ger second opinion and a bit of reassuran...

I'm in a similar boat- we got married in September but haven't got much proof of cohabitation just yet and due to apply for spouse visa in April also in UK already.
Hopefully you will get some answers on here!

All questions about the SAME application.

Oh I see! Then I'm sorry, I had no idea!

Admin, why did you merge my posts? Suggest read the forum rules! https://www.immigrationboards.com/announcements/multiple-posts-will-be-locked-deleted-t5722.html Both of my threads are totally different subjects! The first one is about being sole trader on Flrm the second one about my new husband b...

Admin, why did you merge my posts?

@TODMATT Nope, he isn't the father. We have been together around 4 years.

Anyone, please?

Afternoon all! I'm currently in a bit of a conundrum here. :oops: I was previously granted as a mother of British child and when I done my last extension in 2019 I explicitly stated that I am single and do not have a partner. I had to do that because I'm aware that if you declare your relationship, ...

Lol it’s not luck! The accountant told him they the HRMC portal no longer provides SA302 except tax overview and tax calculation. He also has a friend who submitted the same and was also approved.

Oh I see! In which case it's great news! Less paperwork to chase! Thanks!

My British child is now 21.5 and is trying to live with her her independent life. I got married in September and was advised it's easier to apply as a spouse. My immigration history is dark and convoluted dating back to 1997. But has been squeaky clean for the last 7. 5 years, since I got granted l...

Afternoon all, For my last leg of 10 year settlement route as a parent, I'm switching to spouse category. My new husband and I are both sole-traders and will be combining our income to meet income threshold. Previously, I had to demonstrate adequate maintenance without a set minimum income and my ac...

@TODMATT Thank you so much for clarifying this!

I would appreciate if anyone can help me out. I'm about to go for our first extension on a 10 year route parent on private life. Our daughter was born in the UK and we applied 2.5 years ago for leave to remain under the 7 year residency. I have read I could try to switch from 10 years to 5 years an...
