I was in a similar situation earlier this year.Don't worry about the questions they might ask; you are no longer under" immigration control"I was asked one question how long i was away for and i told them 1 month and they just stamped my passport and let me in.I was prepared for lots of questions considering how i got my ILR.

You might find some nosy immigration officer but keep your answers short and to the point.

It doesn't matter how your got your ILR just walk in to the immigration desk like a king and hand them your passport and wait for them to put a date stamp on it.

Try and remember not to write in block letters next time as it is considered rude.

Thank you very much, Exactly the same question i was thinking....Its not a problem to give the description but, yet again still when you are being questioned, at some points defenitely we will be nervous.

And then i'm sorry i was not rude at all, any ways i've changed it to the normal sentence case.

Thanks a lot[/quote]

nothing to be nervous about. even if don't have ILR but normal visa, just walk in as you would and be confident. you have nothing to be afraid of
