SET(M) Application returned as Invalid.

[garichd]

Hi All,

I am posting this query on behalf of my friend. She is Canadian citizen and here in UK on Marriage Visa.

Recently she applied for settlement(ILR) on form Set (M). Home Office returned her application as Invalid for the following reasons.

1) Old form used (Apparently the form she used was old and there is now new form from 27th of November).
2) No name on the back of the Photograph.

However home office has charged her full amount for the processing of application.

Now the query ; can she correct the application and send back
Or
She has to submit new application and pay fees again?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

what was the date of application?

Did the covering letter not say whether she could resubmit?

Normally the applicant is given 28 days to submit the correct/further information.

It's also standard practice to include the correct form for the applicant.

I'm assuming your friend checked to see that she met all the other requirements for settlement including the KOL test?

If she submitted the application herself its best to check that she's got everything else right before sending it off again.
