Hi All,
We are just completing my wife's SET(M)/ILR application and the questions about children have changed since the FLR application two and a half years ago. (we both have adult, independent/self-supporting children, my wife's lives in the US, mine in the UK).
Back then the questions were:
Do you have any children of 18 years old or under? Answer: No
Does timds66 have any children that are not applying on this application? Answer: No (after checking on here for advice everyone said to ignore children over 18).
Now, for SET(M) the questions are slightly different:
Do you have any children whose parent is not your partner? Answer: It doesn't specify an age range this time, should Mrs timds66 put Yes this time?
Does your partner have any children living in the UK from a previous relationship? Answer: Same question as above really.
if you select Yes for the partner question you get the following follow-up question:
Provide details of where the children live, who they live with and their relationship with that person. Include the reason they do not live with your partner.
I've provided the following: One child, he is an adult, 25 years old, currently living in xxxx with his partner. He supports himself.
Should I actually put "No", to match the FLR application when there was an age stipulation? (not sure if they check back)
If I put "Yes" is the answer above sufficient? And should I put matching statements for both our sons (different locations obviously) as the question only pops up after ticking Yes to the partner question.
Divorce:
We've both been previously divorced, there is a question related to Mrs timds66 previous relationships, and the requirement for providing divorce documantation is added to the mandatory doc's list at the end, but there is no question about whether the partner (me) has any previous marriages, so no stipulation to provide my divorce doc's. Have I missed a question? I think I've scoured the application thoroughly, but I can't find it.
(those with long memories might remember why divorce doc's make us nervous!)
Thanks in advance for any advice
