ILR (LR)

Post by verbina » Sat Jan 20, 2024 6:59 pm

Evening all! I've almost completed my 10 year long legal residence (although my actual residence is closer to 25 years 😔).
I'm going to apply for ILR based on long residence, although my latest leave to remain was granted as a wife of British citizen (my previous 3 grants were for a parent of British child).
My question is: Do I have to submit any supporting documents for cohabitation and subsisting marriage since my previous visa grant? Or would the minimum list of documents ie passports, English test, LIUK test (as been advised on this forum) will suffice?
I'm hoping to complete the application myself without engaging a solicitor, so I just want to make sure I'm fully prepared and know what to expect.
Thank you very much in advance!

Correct ILR form advise please

Post by verbina » Mon Aug 19, 2024 5:43 pm

Evening all,

I've now completed my 10 years of legal stay in the UK and will be applying for ILR in November.

However I'm confused with which form I have to use.

My first three grants were as a Parent of British child. But then the final extension was as a wife, because my British child is now a 24 year old adult.

I was under the impression I can use Set (LR) 10 year long residence route, but on the government website it says explicitly not to use that application if you are a spouse or parent of a settled or British person.

Please could someone advise me what to do? Thank you so much! 🙏

Please stick to this thread for all your application queries.
You can apply under the long residence without any issues. You seem to have incorrectly interpreted the note on the form SET(LR). That note simply says to avoid using form SET(LR) if you intend to apply for ILR under the FAMILY ROUTE rules (i.e. the 10-year FAMILY route) as you should use a different form.

However, it is NOT talking about your current visa or telling you that you cannot use SET(LR) if you happen to be under the family route. Under the long residence, your current visa route is irrelevant !!

So sorry! I first used the search option hoping to see relevant posts, but then I got a bit carried away and made my own post. So sorry! Thank you so much!

Forgot to disclose a trip abroad in two of my previous (approved applications)

Post by verbina » Tue Oct 08, 2024 9:20 pm

I filled in my Set LR application today and I realised that I failed to disclose in my previous 2 (approved) applications a trip that I took in the beginning of 2013. 😬
I'm literally panicking here! My common sense tells me I ought to disclose it this time in my current ILR application, but my husband reckons they might compare my absences with my previous applications and accuse me of dishonesty and my good character will be tarnished.
Please advise, what should I do, do I disclose it, or omit it entirely, since that particular trip took place 11 years ago and has no relevance to my 10 year continuous stay here.
I've not submitted my ILR yet, so I can go back and edit it still, but I'm just totally lost with what to do. 😭😭
Thank you so much in advance! 🙏

That date has no relevance. Only absences over the last 10 years need to be declared
