Hi, thanks for the reply. History of my posts here can be confusing as I asked questions for other people as well. Here are the answers to your questions:CR001 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 11:21 amWhat is the exact immigrarion history and visa categories applied for an granted?
Your previous posts suggest she was on a pbs dependent visa. Did she switch to flr m spouse visa at any point!?
Which form dis you use to apply for her ilr, SET O or SET M?
What is the exact wording of the letter rejecting the application?
Yeah. I realised that. As I said, we got the wrong advice. It is what it is, and life goes on. Thanks for the help though.
Hi. I had some thinking and would like your thoughts on 2 questions, please.
Interesting.
Interesting. I read the thread you shared. So please allow me to put my context to it and get your thoughts :zimba wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 3:43 pmAny time spent under any dependant/partner visa counts under the skilled worker route.
It also may be possible to switch back: indefinite-leave-to-remain/combination- ... l#p2143081
So to reflect what you said in my context, If we apply for a new extension today under SET(O), and if we get approval in a week's time, we can immediately apply for ILR because the sum of Set(O) (4 years and 6 months) and Set(M) (9 months) is above the 5-year threshold. Am I understanding you correctly?
Ok. Then I do not understand what "skilled worker visa" means. I am not even sure a kid can apply for it. My wife and kid applied under Set (M) as partner of Tier 1 Global Tealent and then we extended under Set(O). These are categories that show on the application form. Any link to educate myself on the "skilled worker visa" thing?
You are using some ILR form name as if it is a visa route. The form you use to apply for ILR is not the name of the visa route. Those ILR forms are quite generic and cover many visa routes, so they are just names given to them. e.g SET(O) simply means 'Settlement Ordinary' which is an ILR form. It is NOT a visa routezimba wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 7:01 pmSET(O) or SET(M) are simply ILR forms that cover various ILR paths. It isn't meaningful to say they had residence under SET(O) or SET(M). Your dependant held visas under the skilled worker dependant partner route and then switched to the partner of a settled/British person route. Both are partner routes.
As you read the immigration rules which I shared in the link above, the rules under skilled worker DO NOT CARE about the type of residence of the dependant over the 5 years as long as the 5 years was spent as a partner of P (the main application i.e. YOU). It only matters that they currently must be under the skilled worker dependant visa (as per paragraph SW 39.2.) to benefit. Hence the need to switch back.
They must apply for a new visa under the skilled worker dependant route first to switch and then they can apply to settle using form SET(O)
