Indefinite Leave to Remain UK (ILR) and Application Forms
By Kiran Sripada

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) is the process of applying for permission to remain in the UK after passing the Life in the UK test. The candidate should be aware of the forms and documents that are essential to fill out for his or her application for ILR. At this particular stage, the passed candidate can learn all the vital phases to fulfill the Indefinite Leave to Remain application. There are two different types of application forms to apply for ILR.

They are:

Form SET(M)
Form SET(O)
Form SET(M)

Form SET(M)is used by candidates who want to settle in the UK, if their husband, wife, unmarried partner, civil partner or same gender partner are already British citizens. So, an individual can apply for a UK settlement by using the SET(M) form if their partners are already settled and have a proper standing in the UK.

Some of the other guidelines to apply for form SET(M) are given below:

If the candidate already has temporary permission to live in the UK at present for the reason that their partner is already settled in the country. The candidate can be a husband, wife, civil partner, same gender partner or unmarried partner.
If the candidate has lived in the UK for 2 or more years.
If the candidate is planning to settle in the country in the future.
A Few Advantages of Form SET(M):

The candidate can use the same form for joint applications.
For instance, candidates can include their children in the same form they are using to apply. The only clause is, children should be less than 18 years of age.
Submit these forms at an SCS (Systems Consultants Services) UK or send them by post to the Home Office. The address should be scrupulously written on the cover of the form.
SCS: Independent UK-based Consultancy which assists clients in meeting their demands, providing a broad range of services.

Form SET(O)

Form SET(O)is a different form which is used for a different function. The candidates need to apply for ILR with this form if they are in the following categories:

in Tier 1 or Tier 2 in the points based system
having work permit
an innovator
an investor
an overseas government employee
a self employed lawyer
ancestry is from the United Kingdom
placed in the category of HSMP (Highly Skilled Migrant Programme)
can use this form if you are minister or member of a religious organisation
a writer, composer or an artist or a private servant in a diplomatic household
Domestics who work in a private household can also use this form
associated with a private newspaper or news agency
If an individual belongs or comes under any of the above categories then he or she can avail this SET(O)form. A few important points to remember is that persons applying for this form need to have a good control over the English language. No certain time limit is there to accept or decline the application. The procedure depends on processing of the application based on the person.

Mostly this procedure varies from person to person for the application process. Both the forms (Form SET(M) & Form SET(O)), should be filled using a black pen in block letters.
