Hi All,
I was on a Tier 2 visa until 2019 where I settled. My wife was on a Tier 2 dependent visa, but not for 5 years at that point so she was not eligible to settle with me. We extended her Tier 2 dependent visa. She is now eligible to settle as she has spend 5 years on this visa, but we can't find the right form!
I thought it should be Set(O), but the online application does not permit me to input that I have already settled. Rather, I can only list that I have applied for or have been granted a Tier 2 visa - for example they want my employer's sponsor licence number etc... but it has been 2 years since they have sponsored me!
Should I look to apply using Set(M) instead? Or should I continue with Set(O), filling out questions as if I have not already settled?
Oh and one last question if I may! The Set(O) guidance states: "When you apply for settlement, you and your partner must: be living together in your own accommodation not be using public funds." But I have received child benefits ever since I received ILR! This has me very worried, but I did seek out advice on this! Do you think that this applies for where neither spouse has ILR, or have I screwed us?
Thanks all.
