Set (O) Version 04/2011 Vs Set (O) Version 05/2011

[zebra3]

Hi All,



whats the difference between the forms SET (O) Version 04/2011 and SET (O) Version 05/2011?


my solicitor sent my file to the home office on 8th August 2011 using form SET (O) Version 04/2011 for ILR based on 14 years.

I checked both forms and can not see any difference


Thank you

Ask your solicitor whether application dated 8th August 2011 on a previous form is valid?
Read page 10 of UKBA guidance:

it will give you a pain my friend, your application will be invalid due to use of wrong application form. ask your solicitor where he live? on the moon I hope!!!

its one of this things, the UKBA editing the form in a month. he will just have to resubmit.

Thank you for that, the only differnce between the 2 forms is section 3 where you tick under what category your are applying.

Ain't that the truth!

...I had a PEO appointment and all my evidence sorted, but had been working on my application since April. 2 days before the appointment at the beginning of June, I had a bad feeling about my form so I googled it and found a new form had been issued. On the bright-side, redoing my application form was another check that it was all in order.

Fire your solicitor - or at least ask for a discount on the astronomical fees he's/she's probably charging as an immigration paperwork 'expert'. Perhaps publish the firm name (moderators?) in the form of a review, so nobody else in your neck of the woods suffers their short-sightedness.

I have just checked my bank account online and the home office cashed in my cheque for £972 FEES for the application.

they can still refuse your application. u cant do much now. just notify your solicitor so if home office rejects application due to form error, he knows that he has to pay for re-application.
