ILR Form Filling
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 9:32 am
Dear Friends,
I have few questions while filling up the ILR form, can any one kindly answer please.
Background: I have got my first entry clerance on 14th Aug, 2008 and entered UK about a month after EC i.e on 21st Sep, 2008. I have been to India and Europe on holidays all together not more than 40 days in last 5 years.
Based on Entry Clerance I am to apply ILR from 18th July 2013 (with in 28 days before 5 Year period)
Questions:-
1. In the ILR form, there is questions "How Long have you lived in UK"; can I write it as 4 Years 10 Months, becuase say If I apply on July 18th 2013, My stay starts when I have first landed in UK? OR should I write it as 4 Years 11 Months based on my Visa first Start date?
2. Another section in ILR asked to "list all absences however short" - should I list all absences related to holidays to India to visit parents? some times I have less than a week holiday - they are not work related absences.
Please advise.
you help appreciated.
best regards
