ILR Continous period query

Post by sanarita » Wed Apr 09, 2014 11:19 am

Hi all,

I have a bit complex query regarding calculating continuous period for ILR. Please check the details below

Entry Clearance date: September 2008
Date first entered: February 2009
Returned to home country: May 2009
Entered UK again in: May 2010 and residing continuously since May 2010.

Can I apply for ILR in December 2014 considering continuous period as
December 2014- December 2013
December 2013- December 2012
December 2012- December 2011
December 2011- December 2010
December 2010- December 2009 and
assuming I was away for 150 days(5 months) in the 12 consecutive months of year 1.

Or I will only be eligible for ILR in May 2015?

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks MindtheGap. The guidance doesn't have specific info if I can exclude the first six months as I have entered UK left and re-entered again.

Happy to help sanarita.

As you have crossed 180 days in 2009, your continuous ILR period will begin from May 2010.

Hi Mind the Gap,

Are you sure this is the case, I really doubt it. You need not to have more than 180 days outside the UK in the last 12 consecutive months, counting backwards from the day of your application. I believe he can include 150 days outside UK in the first year and he is safe to apply in Dec


I would defer this to Seniors and Gurus though...Please someone can please reply.


Thanks
