5-year continuous stay requirement - SET(O)
Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 1:14 am
Hi Gurus,
I can see this from caseworker's guidance document (that applies to me as I'm Tier-1 visa holder):
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... chapter6a/
2.2 Applications that fall short of the five year continuous period
In some cases, applicants may have been granted 5 years continuous leave, but will not have spent 5 years continuously in the UK before their current leave expires. Caseworkers may count the period between entry clearance being granted and the date the applicant entered the UK towards the 5 years, provided this period was not longer than 3 months.
Has anyone been in this situation and was granted an ILR recently? Please share your experience!
Thx!
