Questions regarding entry data D2 in long residence form
Posted: Sun Jun 04, 2017 4:51 pm
Hey guys,
I know this question has been answered a few times but I'm still not clear on how it applies In my specific situation.
D2 of the ILR long residence application form:
I have been working in the UK for 5/6 years and before that I was at university.
I entered UK for the first time in Sept 2006, therefore in Sept 2016 I should have been able to apply. But I decided not to, because I had been out of the uk for more than the 540 day limit. The bulk of these days can be attributed to my time spent outside the UK during my university summer vacations.
These summer vacations were around 90 days for the first 3 years of university, obviously I haven't been able to take more than 24 days off for the last 5-6 years due to my job.
My question is, can this 10 year period be treated as a sliding window?
Because if it does than that means that as soon as this window starts covering enough at the front I will have lost some of my holidays from the past and that means I might be under the limit.
So yeah basically if in my time in the UK I have a 10 year period with less than 540 days, can I apply for the ILR EVEN IF the first day of that period is not an actual entry date i.e I didn't fly into the country on that date?
I hope I made some sense
Any help would be appreciated
Regards
