ILR application with partner

[sb86]

I recently started visiting the website and I have to admit I find it extremely useful. I was wondering whether you can answer my questions. I will be eligible to apply for ILR after completion of 5 years in january 2014 .
My questions are:
- My partner has been with me since 2010. Can he apply with me using SET(O) form??

- How many days is he allowed to be absence in the 2 year or more years? I know I have 180 years but I am not sure about him?

- How many evidences of living together do we need to show?

Many thanks

I assume your partner is a PBS dep.

1. Yes
2. Limited and for good reason.
3. For roughly every 4 months of the last 2 years, 1 joint letter or one each from a total of at least 3 different sources.

Yes my partner is on PBS.

We kept the bills under my name, but he has his university and college letters under our address, plus care insurance, police registration, and joint bank account. Would that be sufficient?

Dear all,

I am due to apply for ILR end of this month, and my husband should be applying too. I have a tier 2 visa, and he my dependent since october 2010. I was wondering whether u can helping me with the following:

- Unfortunately we did not think of having bills under his name as everything was already under mine inculding the mortgage and bills. but recently we changed the electricity bills to both ours, we have the following to prove his address:
1- Joint account with both our names since october 2010
2- electricity bill dated october 2013
3- papers to show his Ielts course in november 2010 with our address on it.
4- car insurance certificate with his name on it
5- letter from the council stating that we both paid council tax since we moved to our current flat from january 2012.

would these be sufficient?

- He has done an MSc degree last year at london, would this satisfy his english requirement?

- Finally, he has been away for most of 2013 as he was attending courses to pass some exams..would he still be eligible to apply? as he will eventually settle here with me.

I really appreciate your help, as it is getting close to the application and it seems stressful...

thank you

Yes cohabitation proof should be fine.
Yes the UK M.Sc. will suffice in addition to LIUK.
Again as I stated below:

there is no figure it is at the caseworkers discretion, limited and for good reason is all one can say.
