BIOMETRIC CARD and all paperwork retunred for Wife today. Wow, Relief.

Took a full 3 months in all and just beat the new English Rules.


THANKS A LOT for the guidance help and encouragement AMBER,
Vinny and others.


Frankie.

money/fee deducted satisfactorily - there's alway the 'risk' money doesn't go through that they return the application back to you.

and sent off today, special delivery for next day 1pm, at 1.4Kg (!) of paperwork cost of £12. Finally breath easy - for the time being. Wanted to future check on the timelines on when wife could apply for citizenship, all going well this time around, 09 Mar Entered as fiance on 6 month visa 09 Sept ...

was thinking same - put all extra stuff in teh covering letter and mention the initial Spouse BRP in teh form.

thanks again.

Hi Filling in SET(M) and will post queries I have as I come across them: Section 1: Q 1.10: Home Office Reference Wife has a Home Office Reference which was on the letter to her for her Dicretionary Leave, bu there are more characters than the boxes present on the form. Just write it anyway, hanging...

No, thankyou for all your positive pointers, I am much better pieced together paperwork wise, physically and mentally (!) now than I was this time Sunday evening.

Thanks - but just to be on the uiltra safe side 1) will stop my wife's claim - rang helpline and they can do it immediately. 2) not claim child benefit in my name before application sent off 3) apply in 3 months time and have it back dated 3 months. That is something I am more comfortable with. Fran...

I work full time, have done so for 15 years , no public fund whatsoever in that time.

just the child benefit issue being discussed here.

Just to chcek under 287 (iv) there will be adequate accommodation for the parties and any dependants without recourse to public funds in accommodation which they own or occupy exclusively; and (v) the parties will be able to maintain themselves and any dependants adequately without recourse to publi...

oh I see, at the TIME of SET. So we can switch it into my name?

Is that a straight forward process?

that is what I am saying that in the first 2 years as spouse no public fund by either of us was claimed.

Only in year 2 of the DL did she claim child benefit. No other fund claimed by us both at all.


So she is still in the clear??

You, the settled person/British national should claim child benefit in your name.

oh ok , so is that the dampner on everything then - even though the DL allowed it.

Just on the second paragraph of that 'I can also confirm that where a person has only been granted discretionary leave because they did not have KoLL, once this person has gained KoLL and can still meet all the other requirements of the rules, they will be eligible to re-apply for settlement as the ...

wow that is great news. So many thanks for helping out the small people like me.

Frankie

oh ok, that's great. thanks

yes I have made quite a few notes thanks to you guys and will be doing a detailed letter this week. The money doesn't bother me, it's the principle.

thankyou for your patience, i don't even know what I am asking anymore, too much stuff going around in my head and the anxiety and trying to work too.

Bottom line i'm going to apply by end of this week on Set M for wife, worst case scenario I lose £1000.

Hi Amber,

is this the document that you could not locate earlier?

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary

thx

Thanks Amber. also I have found this on web: 'The 'no switching' rule came in on HC 538: People who are in the UK as visitors or students for less than 6 months cannot switch to married status (they have to leave and apply for a marriage visa to return). This does not apply to unmarried partners [Pa...

so is basically the SET(M) form telling me not be apply on it?

Also im surprised that there isn't a confirmed case already done of what Naveen and my wife's poistion is, would have thought it would be a common issue.

thanks again. both.

frankie.

Last question hopefully - before I actually apply for wife using form SET(M). Just want to check on the various paragraphs. On the Notice of Decision it states: Variation of Leave or Refusal to Vary Leave Paragraph 286 with reference to 284(ix)(a) of HC 395 (as amended) and in the details it states ...

Ok - been doing a lot of reading all evening online and came across this (text below) and want to know if this is applicable to my wife and it it will negate all discussed before? [April 2013 Immigration Directorate Instructions Section Contents Chapter 8 – Family Members Section 1- Spouses This gui...

thanks again - reading the above and the link to the other post has given me lots of hope.

Frankie

Thank God for that !!!

So what happend after 2012, does it state no public funds on DLRs?

thanks again.
