Urgent : ILR PBS dependent help pls

[shinhwa]

Hello guys,

I am now filling in my form, but I got comfused about 7.13 in the form.

it asks "How long have you lived in the UK?"

What should I fill out? 4years 10months? Because my visa started earlier than actual entered date, and I am applying my ILR based on my visa started date. What I am worried about is the case officer would think I am not qualified to apply.

Please help, thank you very much.

just fill in the correct info is fine.

My partner has got ILR already, as I came to the UK later than him, I have to apply mine on my own.

I am viewing my SET(O) form, the paper one, there's no any information about my partner to be filled out. Well, if I have to go with the paper form, which documents from my partner who has been my T2 visa’s main applicant I must submit? As I booked my appointment before the online apply re-opened, I can not switch to online application.

Thank you very much.

How can the case woker know who my main applicant is if there's no any where to fill in my partner's information?

HO has your fully immigration details, they know the story!!

Hello, my appointment is coming in week!

Could any one here check what documents I should submit? Especially, anything comes from my main applicant? like his BRP card, passport, payslips? I have to use the paper form, and the documents checklist on it is really short! (see attached photo) This makes me worried about my application.



Thank you guys!

You don't need a 'covering letter'.

If you are applying by post, you can send copies of spouse's documents.

As already advised, HO have your ILR spouse's details!!

I booked my appointment on 17 May, and my appointment is on 28 Jun. But the application comfirmation shows "Date of Application: 17 May".

I am worried about this! Because the earliest date for me to apply IRL is 31 May.

I didnt realise they dont use the appointment date as the application date. Will I be refused?

[shinhwa]

In addition, If I change the appointment date today, is the "Date of Application" also going to be changed to today? Or, I have to cancel my current application and restart a new one?

Thank you.

"Following as I am in the same boat"

This will be very weird, if the date when you book the appointment is taken as the date of application! I think it should be the date when your physical appointment takes place.

I feel wired as well. But in the ONLINE APPLY procedure, they do take the appointment booking date as the application date! Which means, if the applicants has booked the appointment before visa expiration date, even their appoitments are taken after visa expiration date, they can still survive!

It seems to me that if you apply using the online application form, then that is the date of your application. If you fill out the paper form and take it to your PSC appointment then the date of your application will be either the date of the PSC appointment or the date you put on your paper application form (can be the same date if you wish). My question is, if you have to submit the online form early enough to get a PSC appointment and pay for the visa and the appointment, you may actually have an application date before you are eligible to apply, ie longer than 28 days before your 5 year anniversary.

I really don’t think you can attend a PSC appointment after the expiry date of your visa.

I am very confused about it! The dates also affect the validity of financial and other documents. Should they be within the 28 days before the online application date or the PSC appointment date?!

Hi michali,
so happy for your careful reply. I am quite relieved. I missed the online apply, I booked the appointment without submiting form online. Well, I have carefully read the appointment confirmation again and again, and also asked some of my friends, all of them believe that the DATE OF APPLICATION on it must be the application of the PSC, but not the settlement application.
Then, for your question, I think it will be better and safer to provide documents (not all of them but some necerary ones) from within 28 days before your form submitted. Good luck, friend!

Hi Both,
Are you also including any documents to show your income and funds even though only non-working partner is applying? Also, are you showing anything for the availability of sustainable accommodation?

Hi Both,
Are you also including any documents to show your income and funds even though only non-working partner is applying? Also, are you showing anything for the availability of sustainable accommodation?

I dont work! The part about work information on the form I have left blank. I will only show my bank statements. As CR001's replies me, the HO has everything about my partner.

I will also bring a letter from our lawer to comfirm my parter has just bought a house, just in case, as we just moved in a month ago.

[shinhwa]

i have same questions.can anyone help, please?

I am PBS dependant, and I am applyingon my own.

12A. Your Finances
For all applicants except those applying in the bereaved partner category.
Evidence of your finances. If you have to complete section 5, bank statements, building
society savings book(s), pay slips or other formal documents as evidence of your ability to
maintain and accommodate yourself and any dependants without recourse to public funds.
(See Note 4).

I didn't complete section 5 since I am not working. Do I need provide my bank statements? I have money in my account. Or I should provide anything to prove my partner's finance?




5.4 Does a relative or friend of you or your partner, or both of you, regularly give you money?

Does it ask whether I receive international transfer from my parents? What does " regularly" mean? each month? But my parents only sending money to me some times. Should I tick yes here? If so, how much I should fill in? Because it's asking the amount for each month.




5.7 Complete the following table indicating the sources and levels of incomes as indicated in 5.1 - 5.6 that you and your partner are relying on to maintain you and any dependants adequately.

Do I need to fill in this section? I am PBS dependant, and I am applying on my own. My partner has got his ILR.

Thanks guys!

Hello,

a) in section 5, I have only answered 5.1 - 5.5, because I dont work. In section 6, I have answered 6.1, 6.2, and 6.4 - 6.9.

b) Actually, I have submitted most of items on the checklist, plus marriage certificate, 15 evidences of co-habitation (covering last 2 years), my last 3 months bank statements, my partner's last 3 months bank statements & payslips, and land registry (my partner just bought a house last month). Also my partner has written a cover letter for supporting my application.

Hope my answer can give you any help!
