Thanks to everyone who helped with any questions, I believe this forum is a great resource for information regarding visas of many types. And essentially has prevented many people uprooting their life here in the UK and returning to their home country due to refusal. This is a postive and constructive forum.

Peo at solihull was effortless and so pleasant, went in 10h30 handed in paperwork, followed by biometrics and then went off to lunch at 12h15 in shopping mall next door followed by some toy shopping for the kids. After an hour and half we returned to ukba offices at 2pm and our approved was already waiting for us at the reception. That was it we left and all done.

Dear Forum members

I have booked my ILR appointment for 3rd week of September 2013 in Solihull. I have few questions to clear so that I don’t make any mistakes. They charged the whole fee (£1426). Passed LIUK. I got the required points to apply for ILR (age -20, earnings-20, qualification-35, previous experience-5).

Tier-1 duration (Jun 2008 - Nov 2011 + Nov 2011 –Nov 2103). So I got 4 months extra in total (5 years 4 months).

 I went to India from Augst 2008 to Nov 2008 (total 91 days). My first year for ILR starts from Sep 2008 as I am applying in Sep 2013.
I was unemployed from Aug 2008 till April 2009.

Q1 – Absences from UK
Since I am applying in September 2013, should I mention the whole trip to India (Aug 2008-Nov2008) OR just from (Sep 2008 – Nov 2008). How the caseworker look at this? What precautions should I take? What reason should I say in my covering letter for these absences? (visiting parents?)

Q2-Does it matter if I am unemployed during Aug 2008 – April 2009.

Q3- HMRC
I got HMRC document for the earnings in the past 5 years. For one of my previous jobs, the total amount is not matching with the total from the payslips (reason unknown). But I got the payslips in hand. Does this affect my application?

Thank you very much in advance. Eagerly waiting for your reply.

when you submit days out of country you count back 5 years from your application date which will take you back to sept 2008, you will show the totals for each year so sept 2012 to sept 2013 x days, sept 2011 to sept 2012 x days and so on until sept 2008 to sept 2009 x days

your total for sept 2008 to sept 2009 should be less than 90 days

note this is my opinion, perhaps a moderator could advise as well

Thanks mtuckersa.

Anyone have answers to my other questions?

Thank you.

Any senior members advice please...only 10 days left for my appointment....
