a little help needed with filling in Set M IIR (UK)

[malct]

Hi

Just putting the finishing touches to our application and just need some advice on a couple of items.

Section 2. 2.5, when did you start living together, we have put down Oct 2009 when my wife first came to the UK on a 6 months visitors visa and then it was over a year before she came back on her second 6 months visitors visa, So am i right in putting down Oct 2009 or the date that my wife came back to the UK on the Spouse Visa.

Regarding living together, it asks to provide all addresses that you have lived together in the past 2 years

We have put down my address from Feb 2011 to August 2011 when my then girlfriend was on her second Visitors Visa, but i don't think these dates are relevant for the IIR and i think they are just after the dates from when she last entered the UK on the spouse Visa which was from 3rd October 2011 to present day which would be the day that we apply for the IIR (9/9/13), so not sure if we write present day or the date that we are applying and also with applying 25 days before the 2 years anniversary, will this create a problem. (thats why i was going to use from Feb 2011

Regarding the Bio-metrics, since applying in person to a PEO, Do we fill in most of the Section?

1. Have you been issued with a residence permit, Do we answer no and go to question 7???

Regarding no 7,, my wife has had her finger prints taken in bangkok, Have we to fill in this section??

question 8 - date ( when we applied for spouse visa)

question 9 - Bangkok and the address of that place called Regent House. Where we go to do the Spouse Visa

question 10 - What is details of the British diplomatic post mean ???? Stuck here???

on finances , 8.2, it asks about mortgages, I have a pound laying on at the nationwide in order for them to keep my deeds, So do i declare that i have a mortgage or not?

i know some seem silly Questions, But at £1500, I need the application to be right.

Regards

Malc

Staying with you for 6 months, going home for a year and then coming back is not really living together; is it.

Put the date she arrived to actually live in the UK; unless you lived together in Thailand before that.

Biometric permit:

Having her biometrics taken at the UKVAC for her spouse visa application is not applying for a biometric residence permit.

Q7: Yes. She did have her fingerprints taken when applying for her previous visit and spouse visas, did she not?

Q8: Dates she attended the UKVAC to submit her visit and then spouse visa applications: i.e.: 1) dd/mm/yy; 2) dd/mm/yy; etc.

Q9; UKVAC, Regents house............

Q10: British embassy, Bangkok.

Finances, Q8.2; not really a mortgage on your home, is it?

Regarding Q8: Dates she attended the UKVAC to submit her visit and then spouse visa applications: i.e.: 1) dd/mm/yy; 2) dd/mm/yy; etc.

That's a tough one, we are having to think back from 2008 and looking for 4 different dates (4 applications, 1 failed visitor visa, 2 Visitors visa and the settlement visa.

Just about got the dates sorted to the nearest 1 or 2 days... but its something else that i want to get right.

If you don't know the exact dates, put months and year and make a note in section 8B that you can't remember the exact dates.

If it was me I would just state the most relevant date that they are interested in (ie. the latest).

I can't imagine they have the time or resources to forensically examine every answer looking for very minor and irrelevant omissions so your application can be refused and they can pocket the £1400+ fee !!

In any case they would surely give you the opportunity to correct or provide further details before refusing the application out of hand.

Other applicants (not this forum) have stated this also.
