Thank you for your reply. I think I am planning to submit my application within 28 days of my competition date, hopefully, I am able to book an appointment soon after that.rivercam wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 11:59 amHi
We just done the online application and still needs to attend the appointment. Below is what I answered but experienced members can give more information.
You are right there’s no restriction on number of days for absences for SET(M) and you just need to declare all the days you are out of UK.
I declared as NO to live outside UK stating spouse employment and kids schooling etc.
I declared NO to social groups and wrote the only contact I have with home country is parents and friends.
I believe you have calculated your qualifying period from the date you entered to UK on spouse visa (if you switched into spouse visa in the UK then it’s visa issue date).
Application date/Appointment date is still not very clear and I have seen people in the forum who submitted application beyond 28 days but attended the appointment within 28 days got approved. So if you can,I suggest wait until qualifying period (I printed my submitted form for my own records and it says application date as the date you press the submit button).
The only downside with this is most of the sopra appointments at Libraries are fully booked for 14 days and you are given with expensive appointments.
