Yes, I did enter uk on 9 jan 2008. I have just read some more posts about this rule and some people have stated that 180 rule is initial entry dealy + time spent outside uk.

You cannot be considered "absent from UK" (in context) without having entered UK. Therefore, calculate absences accordingly (i.e - absences from UK after you arrived in the UK).

If someone tells you otherwise, they are wrong.

Thanks Guys,

I have finally got an PEO croydon appointmenr for 23rd october.

I have few questions, would someone be kind enough to advise?


1) Set (O) form : Section 3: Which category? I originally came to UK under HSMP (not under Judicial review) but then got extension into tier 1. So should I tick "Tier 1" under Section A or "Highly skilled migrant" under Section B?

2) Section 9 - D1 - Confirm whether 5 years spent in UK. - As I came 2 months and 9 days after my initial HSMP approval, techinically I havent sepent 5 years yet, but as per other senior members here, I would get 3 months initial grace. so should I answer this as "Yes"?

3) Section 9 - D2 : Should I answer this as "No", as per senior members here, any absence will be once I have entered the UK, and I have only been away for 121 days since I came to UK.

Also, since I have got a PEO appointment, could my application be rejected as I havent completed 5 years on the date of appointment? Does one still get charged if application is rejected on PEO?

I know these might be obvious questions, but I would rather be sure than to assume.

Thanks for your patience in advance.

Dear All,

I am confused about 180 days calculation. I have spent 117 days outside the UK, but came into UK initially 69 days after visa stamp. Does this mean that I go over 180 days 117+69 = 186??

3 days out of this are official assignment out of country? IS it worth getting a letter from employer about this?

Could someone please advise?

Thanks in advance

Hi araif

The cw didnt ask for any specific docs. I submitted these as my salary for one month was paid by the parent company, so in order to clear a potential confusion i submitted these.

With regards to p60 i picked it up from this forum that its just a nice to have

Got it. Thanks salonbalm.
