Hi, I have tried searching the forums and the home office website but have been unable to find a complete answer to how long it is possible to be absent from the UK in order to apply for the settlement of a spouse. According to the home office 'our application to settle here will be judged on its merits, taking into account your reasons for travel, the length of your absences, and whether you and your partner travelled and lived together while you were outside the UK. If you have spent a limited time abroad in connection with your job, for example, this should not count against you.' I take from this that absences will count against you? What would be a safe period of absence over the two years?

Also, it goes on to say that 'time spent outside the UK does make a difference to applications for British citizenship... you must show that you have been living in the UK for the last three years (the 'residential qualifying period'), and that you have spent no more than 270 days outside the UK during those three years. Also, you must have spent no more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months of the three-year period.'

So, to be clear, you must have spent no more than 90 days outside the uk in the last year, and no more than 270 days in the three years prior?

Thanks!!

Hi

Wi, I have tried searching the forums and the home office website but have been unable to find a complete answer to how long it is possible to be absent from the UK in order to apply for the settlement of a spouse.

There is no time life for oversea absences.But you should have solid reason for absence.

According to the home office 'our application to settle here will be judged on its merits, taking into account your reasons for travel, the length of your absences, and whether you and your partner traveled and lived together while you were outside the UK. If you have spent a limited time abroad in connection with your job, for example, this should not count against you.' I take from this that absences will count against you? What would be a safe period of absence over the two years?

This can count against you if you have no good reasons why you were absent from uk.

Also, it goes on to say that 'time spent outside the UK does make a difference to applications for British citizenship... you must show that you have been living in the UK for the last three years (the 'residential qualifying period'), and that you have spent no more than 270 days outside the UK during those three years.

Yes for British citizenship there is a strike time limit.

So, to be clear, you must have spent no more than 90 days outside the uk in the last year, and no more than 270 days in the three years prior?

For British citizenship only.

You are dearly beloved as well.

What a wonderful contribution from you.

To my surprise you are not banned with all these comments.

I have a big question mark how this forum is managed.

Why people like you are allowed to comment here?

Where is forum Moderation now?

Though I take on board your over-zealousness to 100% taking over moderating this forum but perhaps a good idea to leave some amount of moderating to the actual Moderators of this forum as well?

You are dearly beloved as well.

Aha, if nothing else works, play the dearly beloved card....

Well....you know what....this is your lucky day as:

1. I am also from an ethnic-minority community.
2. I have never made a personal comment on you but on the quality of your posts but right from your suggesting another member is on drugs to yesterday making abusive personal comments on me, you now want the Moderators to ban me?
3. Calling a person 'comical' is, according to you, the other person being a dearly beloved? Lahori logic at its finest....

Hi

Read your this comment again and tell me you are not insulting thousand of Pakistani members on this forum.

What is term lahori logic?

Now you are insulting Lahori People.

Better learn to behave yourself.

To be honest I dont bother to reply to dearly beloved People.

This is nothing but a blatant attempt of "rabble rousing" and "playing to the gallery" being indulged by you now. BTW, deliberate attempts to disturb the communal harmony (which are you attempting now by such statements) may get you on the wrong side of law and perhaps best avoidable....

So save your breath to cool your porridge and take a little breather also to reflect on your recent posts.

Better learn to behave yourself.

So now you have resorted to even openly threatening another member of this forum?

[pop on, pop off, pop on, pop off....'popping off' right now (using, once again, Djinn power)]

No comments.

So after openly threatening someone on the net, far from apologizing or being apologetic about your recent posts, you reply ‘no comment’ indicating you would still, perhaps, persist with your threatening behaviour?

General pattern, both at micro and macro level, observed after reading alikhan28 recent posts:

First abuse someone by referring to that person’s “personality and sick attitudeâ€
