165 days and 135 days out side uk and now long residency

[Mrchaany]

Hi all users,

My question is can ukvi rise question about 165 days outside uk in 2013-14 and then 135 days outside uk in 2014-15.
I have justification like family visit plus engagement and marriage, but still worried my long residency ILR application to ukvi.

Are you trying to split a long absence into two years or are they two completely separate absences?

[Mrchaany]

Ok
In the last ten years I have only spent the above period out side uk, and now I got tier 1 entrepreneur extension and my ten years will be complete at august 2017.

Are you trying to split a long absence into two years or are they two completely separate absences?

Which one is it?? 300 days in one go or two separate trips outside the UK??

[Mrchaany]

Two separate trip
Such as first trip was dated 30 sep 2013 till 15 march 2014
Second trip was from 1 oct 2014 till 15 Feb 2015.

No issue then. Remember to make sure ALL your absences for the whole 10 years is within the 540 days limit.

[Mrchaany]

Ok thanks
All my absence is 300

Just a related question.
Can absences greater than 180 days be split between two years for LR?

Just thought I add something to this thread.

A person's qualifying period under 10 years long residence, commences from their entry.

If within a whole 12 months of your qualifying period you spend a total of 180 days overseas, then you are excluded.

Note that:

Long residence
This guidance does not apply to the continuous period requirement in long residence cases. Separate guidance is available and you must refer to this, see related link: Long residence and private life.

(a) “continuous residence” means residence in the United Kingdom for an unbroken period, and for these purposes a period shall not be considered to have been broken where an applicant is absent from the United Kingdom for a period of 6 months or less at any one time, provided that the applicant in question has existing limited leave to enter or remain upon their departure and return, but shall be considered to have been broken if the applicant:

There doesn't appear to be any provisions for splitting up more than 180 continuous absent days under Long residence.
