BRP expired before SET(M) - HELP

[itsmarley]

Hi everyone,

I am currently in the process of filling out my ILR SET(M) application and have a few questions on supporting documents.

1. My spouses payslips are sent electronically, how do we go about proving they are official?

2. My last payslip is short 400£ due to sickness - it states in the payslip that the deduction is due to being
sick. Is this an issue? In my employment letter it states my 35k annual salary.

3. I get paid on the 28th of every month however in some cases when the 28th was on a Sunday or BH payment hit my account on the Friday before...is this considered a discrepancy?

4. We only use online banking so all our statements are digital, will these be accepted?

5. Can marriage certificate be used as one of the 6 pieces of correspondence even though we were married back in 2018?

6. In previous visa applications I submitted a cover letter however don't see anything about that in this one - do I still submit one?

Thanks in advance!

Great thank you!

Can I use a document twice i.e can I use our mortgage agreement as correspondence as well as proof of where we live?

Where is it stayed that you are required to provide proof of where you live?

You simply need cohabitation evidence for the last two years

Hi all,

Due to a lot of personal issue I didn't realise that my BRP card has expired and I haven't submitted my SET(M) application! I know so stupid but it's been a rough 12 months.

What can I do? Do I need a visa extension or can I still apply with an expired BRP??

TIA

When did it expire?

Note the BRP is your visa and if your visa has expired, you are an overstayer and can't work either.

It expired yesterday

If you have evidence (such as medical etc) and a very good reason why you applied out of time, you can apply and hope it is considered. This would need to be more recent evidence for example, not evidence from 12 months ago.

Alternatively, submit and hope for the best, worse that UKVI do is put on the FLR(FP) route and a new 2.5 year visa.

So can I still continue with my SET(M) application even though visa is expired?

I have sick notes from earlier this year.

[CR001]

Sick notes from months ago might not work.

For UKVI to consider as exceptional, it would need to likely be something like you were in hospital after surgery or an accident and your visa expired and therefor unable to apply.

Illness from many months ago does not prevent you from applying in time.

You can still apply. It doesn't change the fact that you are now an overstayer in the UK with no valid visa and no right to work.

Yes I know it is...dealing with my 3rd miscarriage has unfortunately turned my brain to mush this last month. I know it's not an excuse but it hasn't been easy to deal with everything else.

I am still waiting for a decision and have been riddled with anxiety to the point I am making myself ill so I am hoping someone can help.

As I was an overstayer I had to quit my job however in my application I did include my income as part of the financial part of the application. I also included my husbands income which meets the requirements on its own. Will it show up that I am working illegally as I have submitted that information?

Also I did work a week as an overstayer as I wasn't aware my BRP had expired. Will this count against me? I've read its a criminal offence? I did quit as soon as I was aware of this obviously.

I am just an anxious mess worried I will get done for a criminal offence or get deported...I haven't been able to sleep in weeks!

Do not catastrophise. None of those concerns are actually real. If you applied within 14 days and you are eligible, your application should go through without much issue.
