November 2011: I have to take the Life in the UK Test before I apply for indefinite leave to remain -which I need to do before the end of the month. So I got my official UKBA handbook (Life in the UK: A journey to citizenship) and I will be sharing the fun facts of Life in the UK that I need to learn.

October 2011- I have done some research on the UKBA website and found that I can either apply for another FLR (M) which will be good for another 2 years, or I can apply for ‘indefinite leave to remain’ on form SET (M) (also known as settlement).  SET (M) is for indefinite leave to remain as the partner of a person present and settled in the UK. 

August/September 2011- I am currently in the UK, living with my English husband and working.  I first came to the UK engaged and was able to live and work under a work permit applied for by my employer.  This lasted 9 months. 

In November 2011, Jessica from the myUKinfo team went through the process of applying for indefinite leave to remain (also known as “settlement”).  In her experience, this was a three phase process, and the following posts are her own diary-like account of:
