Hi everyone. I have one or two questions regarding the SET(M) form, which am hoping someone can shed some light on.
Query 1
========
Question 2.3: When did your relationship begin?
Question 2.5: How long have you been living in a relationship?
Question 2.6: When did you begin living together?
Is question 2.5 asking me to calculate the duration since the date given as the answer to question 2.3?
...Or...
Is question 2.5 asking me to calculate the duration since the date given as the answer to question 2.6?
It could have asked "How long have you BEEN IN a relationship (with your partner)?" or "How long have you been LIVING TOGETHER in a relationship?" and that would be more clear, but it asks in such an ambiguous way "How long have you been LIVING IN A RELATIONSHIP"?
Query 2
========
Question 2.6: When did you begin living together?
I got married in Bangladesh in May 2011. My wife came to live in my house over there the day we got married. I stayed in Bangladesh for about 2 weeks after marriage, then I returned to the UK and applied for my wife to come and join me. She arrived in the UK in September 2012.
So do I enter the date we first "lived together", i.e. wedding day in Bangladesh, or do I enter the date she arrived in the UK?
Query 3
========
We have a son together who was born in the UK. He is a British citizen from birth (due to me being british) and already has a British passport. As he is not applying as a dependant with my wife, do I have to answer questions 3.1 to 3.8?
The questions suggest they ought to be answered, e.g. 3.1: Do you and your partner have any children together?
However, the guidance above the questions suggest you only fill it in if the children are applying as dependants, e.g. above 3.1 it says: "You are required to provide details of any children under 18 who are living with you in the UK, and who are applying for indefinite leave to remain as your dependants."
and above 3.9 it says: "Please include any further information that you think may be relevant to the consideration of this application. You may wish to include details of any children under the age of 18 who are living with you in the UK, and are British citizens, or have lived here for the last 7 years."

Any help you ladies and gentlemen can provide would be most appreciated. Thanks.
