Congrats and all the best !!!

Few questions which might help people who have absences of more than 180 days during the 5-year period and also 90+ days single absence.

Under what VISA category have you applied for ILR ?
Did the case worker ask any questions on absences ?
Were you paid in UK during your absences ?
Did any of your single absence exceed 90 days ?

Thanks in advance

hello

I was on hsmp (25/01/2008) and was granted tier 1 on 26/02/2010.

applied for ILR on 09/01/2012

I did mention my absences in Section 6 and also Under section 9- Q d2- I ticked yes- and wrote a reason. I just Wrote a paragraph saying that my family is in india so I visit them every year.

I didnt gave any separate absences sheet.

Also Regarding Docs like I said Before I kept it very simple i.e. I only gave what was needed according to the form Set 0

My appointment was at 1:30PM - I reached at 1pm, went through security and then paid the fees(15 mins). After that they registered my case which took almost 25 Mins. After that went for biometrics which took 5 mins.

Around 2:15pm the IT system went down and was not working until 3pm. Around 3:45pm, I went to the caseworker and gave all the supporting documents. He was very friendly. He advised to wait for an hour and after 45 min he called me and said your ILR is approved.

Overall experience was OK. What I have seen today is that if you have all the relevant paperwork then it's all OK.

[mohan_atr]

Great, thanks. Could you also please confirm if any of your single absence was more than 90 days and did the case worker ask any questions on the absences ?

Thanks

Please someone help me in this scenario;

EC granted (HSMP): 19th March 2008 Pakistan
UK Entry: 28th April 2008
Extension of Visa (Tier 1 General): 19th march 2010
Visa Expiry date: 30th march 2013

As per UKBA Guideline below, how soon I am qualifying for ILR. What is the earliest date?

The period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK may be counted toward the qualifying period, as long as it does not exceed 90 days. This can occur if the applicant is delayed travelling to the UK. Provided the period of delay does not exceed 90 days, it will not be counted as an absence. (Link below)

according to my opinion you can still apply 28 days before the visa expiry date via PEO service or by post.

Why don't you do what has been suggested: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... ht=#762242

Raman,

"He requested P60 but I said I dont have any"

Did you say to caseworker that you have P60s at home and just did not bring it along? Just trying to understand how exactly you explained the same.

P60s are not needed as per SET 0. I have P60 for 4 yrs and missing for one. I was not planning on giving P60s to caseworker. In case he/she asks, want to have a clear explanation/statement.

Did he comment anything when you said you dont have P60s with you.

Thanks for your help.

[praran]

hi ramanvirk

Congrats , and do u still have the appointment with you ?
