SET(M) Section 9 Help Needed Please

[ridewithme]

Under Section 9-Personal History......

9.11. How long have you lived in the U.K?

We are planning on including all the years my husband has been here since his Student Visa till date , including the time he was here even after his student visa expired.
And the block where it states to include the dates he was absent......we are putting the dates from when he voluntarily returned to his country to when he came back to U.K after he was issued the spouse visa........
And in the reason column we have stated.......Went back to his country so that he could get married to me in his country.

Is that ok or would you advise otherwise?
Thanks

[Amber]

Sounds ok, although the main interest is the last 2 years.

[ridewithme]

Thank You so much for the prompt reply D4109125.
Also except the SET(M) form, no other forms are needed to be filled for ILR through partner application ??

No, but make sure you supply the correct evidence.

Cohabitation proofs spread evenly over two years, 3 months wage slips and corresponding bank statements and LIUK test certificate or equivalent.

Gas Bill (last 6 months),

P60 s....last year and dis year
Payslips (Both of us) for the last 2 years

Letter from GP confirming my husbands registration

My Driving Licence and his Provisional Licence

Is that enough or we would need more.

Sort out the cohabitation documents as follows:

For every 4 months of the 2 year period supply:

1 joint letter or a letter each from a total of at least 3 sources.

Don't just throw in 6 months, present it as required. If you're going for a PEO take photocopies of everything.

Payslips, only include the last 3 months and corresponding bank statements.

[ridewithme]

We have gas bills only for the past 7-8 months and electric for the past 12-14 months.......would that be ok or do we need more cohabitations docs......(cause we live with my parents)

[Amber]

You should cover the 2 years. Letters do not need to be joint one each will suffice.

[ridewithme]

Thanks for the feedback.
Also do we need to mention any extra information or any kind of cover letter or anything.

[Amber]

A cover letter is not needed. If you wish to include any extra information you can.

[ridewithme]

also, i had to travel abroad for 5 days due to some work related training.....while my husband stayed behind at home in the U.K during this time.....i know its only 5 days.......but do we need to mention anything??

[Amber]

No, 5 days is not going to be relevant. So long as you have lived permanently together that's fine.

[ridewithme]

Thanks Amber

They'll take everything, but I would put them in the order they are asked on the form. You should provide photocopies also.
