I have not heard back on my Set LR application yet unfortunately.
My dependant's biometrics(FLR(M)) is on 24th Dec. As a part of the documentation should I sign the family declaration form? I am required to tick a) british citizen b) settled in the UK c) refugee
I do not have settled status yet.

I will be writing a cover letter to the case worker only to process the FLR(M) application once my application is processed.
Any suggestions I make in the forum are out my personal experience and should not be taken as a legal/professional advise.

Any guidance on the above please?
Also, is my assumption right that photos with my partner, chat transcripts are not required for FLR(M)?

I do not have settled status yet. Settled is the closest status. As already said to add cover letter stating to CW your current status a d that ILR LR is in progress and you are being hopeful it gets granted hence why selecting b).

Hello,

I have applied for SET(LR) on 29th August and waiting to hear on my biometrics appointment. I am currently on Tier 2 ICT visa

Myself and dependants have an existing leave till February 2023.

Spouse's case(Tier 2 ICT dependent) :
UK Entry: Sep 2010
UK Exit: Jan 2012
UK Entry on a new entry clearance: Nov 2012(Break - approx 300 days)
My spouse is continuously living in the UK since Nov 2012

My spouse will need a FLR(M) visa when I attain ILR. Since the IHS charges are increasing on 1st October, I am wondering if I should file FLR(M) for my spouse and son(born abroad) now with a covering letter stating dependency on my ILR application processing.
This could save me over £700

A couple of questions:
1. Assuming I obtain my ILR past September, HO would come back to demand the IHS fee difference right? I think HO have every right to demand as I'd requested the delayed processing. This would defeat the whole purpose of applying early.
2. Worst case scenario, if my ILR was refused, can I withdraw FLR(M) visas for a refund(assuming dependents did not go through their biometrics appointments)?

Thoughts please

Hi Poper,

First of all congrats for your ilr and your spouse Flr M, can i please ask you few questions as i am almost in similar situation?

Would you mind to share a Template for the cover letter for your Flr M application?

Please see the attached image are the answers correct as i am still waiting for my ilr lr application so should i select settled in UK or any other option?

Below is what I used. Picked up this template from a facebook forum

As I did not have my ILR yet while filling the FLR application, below is how I answered:
