Hello Everyone,
I have been searching for some answers (to fill the Set O form for my ILR) in our forum and i think i have got most of it covered apart from few and hence thought to post it here. I would really appreciate if someone could answer the below questions for me:
I am applying for ILR on 17th Feb 2014 - PEO Appmt - Croydon
My Details:
Applied On: 19th Jan 2009
Tier 1 Visa Granted!-5th Feb 09
Initial Tier 1 Validity: 01/03/2009 - 01/03/2012
14th March 09-Landed in UK
16th Sept 09-Applied for Wife & Kid
3rd Oct 09 - Dependents visa Approved
28th Feb 2012 - Tier 1 Visa Extension Granted
Q1.
6.3 What evidence has been provided to support the reasons for all absences from the UK?
I am leaving this question blank as I am on Tier 1 G visa - Searched and found that this question was discussed here:
http://www.immigrationboards.com/indefi ... 21601.html - Ok or Not Ok
please advise?
Q2. - S E C T I O N 7
7.1. have you or any dependants who are applying with you been convicted of any criminal
offence in the UK or any other country?
I am saying No on this, I have 1 FPN (Speeding - i.e. 3 points + £60 fine - paid on time) + 1 Parking ticket (paid on time)
. - I have searched our forum and can see multiple discussions confirming that as FPN's or PCN's are not criminal convictions unless court is involved then there is no need to mention it as per this NOTE.
note: We will carry out criminal record checks on all applicants and dependants. You must
give details of all unspent and spent criminal convictions. This includes road traffic offences
but not fixed penalty notices (such as speeding or parking tickets) unless they were part of a
sentence of the court. This includes all drink-driving offences.
Q3. - S E C T I O N 7
7.11 How long have you lived in UK? - I was told by the case worker while she was giving the approval letter to me for my Tier 1 G extension that I can apply for my ILR in Feb 2014 - So did they take 1st of March 2009 as my start date to calculate the 4 yr 11 months period? Guess this is the answer:

Please clarify if I am wrong in assuming this or shall I be taking some other date to count this?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards
