Hello,

I first arrived in UK in October 2009 and applied for the ILR in December 2014 which was unsuccessful as i had stayed outside the country for more than 180 days in 2012/2013 for personal/employment reasons.
I was out of the UK from 25/09/12 to 31/03/13 ( Entered UK). But Still was paying Taxes/employed in UK during this period.

My current UK Tier 1 visa is valid till 14/03/2018. So was wondering if I could start the 5 year continuous period for my ILR application from 01/02/2013 to 02/02/2018, Even though i was physically not present in UK till 31/03/2013. Please advice

I passed my Life in UK test in December 2014 , could you also please confirm if the Life in UK pass certificate from December 2014 is still valid and can be used for my ILR application in Feb/March 2018

Thanks and Kind Regards

Your clok reset on 31 March 2013. You will complete 5 years on 31 March 2018. You an apply within 28 days of this date

You ca apply ILR on/after Saturday, 3 March 2018 that is before your current T1 expires. I recommend to apply in person if you have not had any tax amendmends.

Yes, Life in the UK test does not expire. If you have original that's fine.

Thanks Makky86 for your prompt reply:)
