ILR Application for Wife and Child currently PBS dependent

[devbarjatya]

Hello All

Sorry for the pain but I have a few basic questions as I need now to apply ILR for my wife and children as now I am currently on ILR (Settlement ,effective from Last week June-30th, 2014)

They are currently on PBS dependent leave which is expiring next Month.( 07-Aug-2014)

Essential details:

1. I got my Settlement last Month ( I used ILR Set O form). It was via the 5 year Tier-1(PBS) route which was initially started in Nov 2008.( Tier-1 Gen PBS )
Wife and Kid also got the PBS dependent leave along with me for three years ending Nov 2011.
2. Applied together ( Tier-1 extension) and granted leave for all three of us until ( 07 Aug-2014 for two years.). They took some time in decision as I made a Postal application, so the total period extended to more than 5 years). Wife and Kid currently on PBS dependent leave.
3. As my wife did not prepare the life in UK test , I did not want to take risk and applied myself alone for ILR on SET O via premium service as it was coming to end in August . I was granted settlement on the same day ( Validity 10 years, Granted last Month Settlement)
4. As my wife has spent more than two years , actually even more than 5 years with me in UK, I am a bit confused as to what form to use and what documents to arrange? She has passed her life in UK test now and attempting ESOL B1 english exam which I hope she will pass when her result arrive next week.

Please advise URGENTLY the questions below.

My questions are:
1.What correct form to use Set M or Set O or any other?
2.How many cohabitation documents I need to provide in our Joint name?
3.Any funds requirements? It says about £18K which should be fine as my income is more than £40k.
4.Is it okay if I can get the settlement service check done by Council and than go for Premier appointment to get the same day decision.

Appreciate your assistance.

many Thanks

SET(O). Cohabitation documents since the last extension up to a max. of 2 years, e.g. council tax bills in joint names. Ideally, 1 joint letter or a letter each for every 4 months over the last 2 years from a total of at least 3 different sources. No funds required. No you cannot use the SCS. B1 English and LIUK required.

Dear Amber / Other members

Can I include a child under 18 in my wife ILR application? Or do I have to fill separate SET O application for my wife and the child? They were both have been PBS dependents when I was on Tier 1 General visa. A quick response is appreciated.

SET(O). Cohabitation documents since the last extension up to a max. of 2 years, e.g. council tax bills in joint names.

Hi Guys

We applied using one day service for my wife and the child. The child was included in wife application. I wrote a covering letter supporting their application and included my original BRP with their application. Since it was one day service we got them all back on the same day (after like 2 hours). Hope this will help you guys in your ILR application. Good luck. Keep us informed what has happened.

We submitted cohabitation documents from different sources for the last 3 years. Application was submitted in September 2014.
