Can any suggest me, what documents I needed extra?

Many thanks.

No need for a new topic with each question on the same application. Keep your queries in a single topic/thread please.

Yes, I am aware of the new form but I am not going to read through the whole form to try understand what it is you are asking about.

You said 'according to the new form.......', what in particular is of concern on whether or not you are eligible.

Dear Char,

Aplogies for the inconvience. Can anyone guide for the Docs Needed on Maternity Leave?

Page 22 on the new Form. It Says,

If you have had a gap between periods of valid leave, your leave will only be considered to be continuous if the late application was submitted:
• before 24 November 2016 and no more than 28 days after your previous leave expired
• on or after 24 November 2016 and no more that 14 days after your previous leave expired and we consider that there is a good reason beyond your control for the delay
• on or after 24 November 2016 and following the refusal of a previous application for leave which was made in-time or for which the Secretary of State considered there was a good reason why it could not be made in-time; and within 14 days of:
▪ the refusal of the previous application for leave; or
▪ the expiry of any leave which has been extended by section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971; or
▪ the expiry of the time limit for making an in-time application for administrative review or ap- peal (where applicable); or
▪ any administrative review or appeal being concluded, withdrawn or abandoned or lapsing.
Where you have had one or more gaps of leave after 24 November 2016 and of less than 14 days during your qualifying period, you must provide evidence which demonstrates the reason for the delay(s). This includes situations where your application for settlement falls under one of the previous bullet points.

It refers to gaps between applying for extension, i.e. when a migrant had no valid leave. It does not refer to ILR applications.

On your maternity question, suggest read the guidance notes as I am unable to answer the query.
