I have a few queries and wondered if anyone can advise please? You should be able to find posts from others with similar circumstances, with advice from those who know the rules better than I, but my understanding of the rules is below. 1. We are relying on cash savings to meet the financial requir...

This is not legal advice of course, and I have not been involved in a JR but I have experience of small claims hearings. It sounds like the costs should be agreed between the parties after the consent order. If the parties do not agree (e.g. one party disputes the other's evidence) then costs will b...

For SET(M): The first question of the Finance section is this: "Do you or your partner currently receive any of these benefits?" for FLR(M), the first question in the Finance section is: Does your partner currently receive any of these benefits? Is this likely to be a mistake? Or is there ...

Have a word with the NHS consultant about this requirement. They generally have a template for the relevant details. Thanks, that's helpful. I've sent a request to a consultant and will see what they come back with. I have made this request, but with Covid, it seems like this is going to be a prett...

If I understand correctly, one is eligible to apply for SET(M) 28 days before the 5 year anniversary of the first FLR(M). But I've read that one can actually apply earlier than that, as long as the decision on the application is not made before the 28 days before date. This would be an advantage to ...

There is a question on Set M "Do you or any of your dependants have any business interests outside the UK?" Is that like owning a company in another country? Or would it include something like a sole-trader having clients in their home country, and using a previous address there to communi...

More information about why the question about Cash savings never appeared. The first question of the Finance section is this: "Do you or your partner currently receive any of these benefits?" With instructions: "Tick the relevant box(es) below to show which benefits you or your partne...

Using Cash Savings for Financial Support? It seems simpler (fewer extra letters to request) to use savings to show financial support, but I do not see how to do it on the online version of SET(M). The finance section starts by asking questions about benefits, work and other income. It never asked ab...

As much as they asked for. If you make such a claim, you must support it with the evidence Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure what you mean by "make such a claim". It is a question that is asked in the Application section (section 2 of the online SET(M)). The correct answer for the appli...

I've asked about a similar question in regard to an FLR application, but after answering "Yes" on the SET(M), it now asks for a letter in the Documents section. Question: Do you or your partner have any physical or mental conditions which require at home personal care or medical assistance...

I haven't kept up with the changes in the regulations, but I think the answer to question 1 would be no. I would think that changing to the Turkish Worker visa would reset the clock to 5 years. (Previously, Turkish Worker did not lead to ILR) I'm not sure about question 2 after the changes. It used ...

What??? Isn’t Settled Status equivalent to ILR and PR? Aren’t we supposed to be able to apply for one year after Settled Status granted? From what I understand, they are not quite equivalent. But yes, 1 year after getting settled status you should be able to apply for citizenship. The difference is...

Thanks both. I suppose there isn't much downside in applying for PR (other than the work of finding documentation, filling in the application and paying the fee). Even if the date is for some reason different, they will still be eligible for citizenship after having 'settled status' for a year.

If I understand correctly, one has to have ‘settled status’ (also known as ‘indefinite leave to remain under the EU Settlement Scheme’) for 1 year to be eligible for applying for citizenship. If an EU citizen has applied for and received settled status, but has also been in the UK for 6 years, can t...

When filling out an FLR(M), Section 7A - Financial requirement, 7.3A (iii) says: (iii) Have you/your sponsor been in employment with the same employer and earning the amount specified in (xiv) below continuously for 6 months prior to the date of the application? (category A) If the sponsor had a pay...

If a sponsor loses their job, which was used as the source of income under Category A for an FLR(M) application, while the application is being considered, they would have an obligation to inform the Home Office. Would that application still be considered based on Category A? Or if the sponsor got a...

A little further down from the quoted section above, in the FLR(M) guidance notes, in Section "10. Documents" says: If you are making your application by post you can send a complete and full copy of your sponsor’s valid or most recent passport, national identity card or travel document wi...

If one has left the UK for a day trip, for example, to Paris, for which one must go through immigration, where the passport gets a stamp, then the date you left and date you returned is the same. But if one tries to submit such information, an error message says the date of return must be after the...

I meant for this to be a new topic "FLR(M) online equivalent questions" rather than a reply to my previous topic "Financial requirements, spouse, disability, PIP". Could a moderator move this to a new post, or delete it and I'll try to repost as a new topic? I have a few question...

The online version of FLR(M) asks the question about the "partner" only which makes it seem like it's only the partner's receiving the benefits which matters. Finance Does your partner currently receive any of these benefits? Please tick the relevant box(es) below to show which benefits yo...

I have a few questions on the online equivalent of the FLR(M). It's strange how the online application differs from the pdf version. 1. One of questions is: Time spent outside the UK Have you been out of the UK since you started living here? If Yes is the answer, it asks: Details of time spent outsi...

I wonder if anyone might have some additional insight on this question. On the most recent version of FLR(M) question 7.1 is (emphasis added), Exemption from meeting the income threshold 7.1 Are you or your sponsor in receipt of a benefit listed in section 21 d) of the guidance notes? If you claim t...

OK, so it doesn't matter if the BRP given after applying for the extension expires some time after the 5 years have elapsed. As soon as the five year anniversary of the granting of the first FLR occurs, one is eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain.
