Very useful great post. It explains better than the official website. Thanks for the hard work.

After submitting the form, I realised that I filled in over 5 years of absences on the form. I should have listed absences from 2008. However, I listed absences from 2007, which is the last 6 years. But the total absences do not exceed the limit.

Hi all thanks for all the information. Here is my another query. I am applying for ILR in person. I started my work permit Visa in October 2004. However, I lost my passport in 2005.

thanks for the reply.

I contacted a law consultant. He told I did not have to put the fact in the form as the HO would not check if I apply in person.
Is that true?
Thanks

Hi,
I have some questions to ask. I am applying for ILR. I got caught by police a year ago. I plead guilty and the court sent me fine penalty but I did not appear in court. So on the form personal history section, should I say Yes or No?

Thanks

I got work permit in September 2004. But my student visa was still valid. I then extended my visa in November with the work permit.
Should the qualifying period start in September or November?

Thanks

I have a friend who has passed the qualified period 5 years. But he has got a criminal record against him which happened 1 year ago.
Would his infinite leave to remain application be refused? Please give any advice. Thanks
