Sorry Guys, I am confused. I remembered some time ago, in early April there was a lot of disscussion with respect to the requirement of absence letter from employer for Tier 1 applicant. So is that settled now that we do not need to provide it? Thanks a lot.

Tier 1 (G) applicants dont need to provide any letter from their employers unless the days out of uk are <180. There are a few success stories for similar cases on this forum...

thanks for your reply. A couple of more things:

In form Set(O) Section 6.2 shall we just listed the departure and entry date and with reasons? Where does the calculation of less than 180days per year (backed up from application date) go? Shall we include a separate letter for that?

Section 6.3 asked for evidence for Tier 1 with respect to absence, shall we just leave it as blank?

Thank you.

Sorry ..yes ur right...Typo error .. my mistake... correcting here :)

Tier 1 (G) applicants dont need to provide any letter from their employers unless the days out of uk are >180 in any 12 consecutive months in the 5 years before the date of ILR application. There are a few success stories for similar cases on this forum.


Q 6.2 --- yes list departure dates and return dates .. and also the reason...eg. Holidays etc...

Q 6.3 -- leave blank

ILR Application T1 General!
T1G granted = 13-11-2008
First Entry = 25-12-2009; Extension = Nov-2011 & April-2013
1- Exit = 05-01-2009; Second Entry = 12-03-2009
2- Exit = 14-03-2009; Third Entry = 14-07-2009
3- Exit = 31-07-2009; Fourth Entry = 08-01-2010
4- Exit = 13-06-2010; Fifth Entry = 15-06-2010
5- Exit = 21-06-2011; Sixth Entry = 21-06-2011
6- Exit = Nil - to Date

Year From - To - Days outside UK
1st: 25-06-2009 - 24-06-2010 = 179 (3rd & 4th exits; EXCLUDING days of Entry/Exit)
2nd: 25-06-2010 - 24-06-2011 = 01 (5th Exit)
3rd: 25-06-2011 - 24-06-2012 = 0
4th: 25-06-2012 - 24-06-2013 = 0
5th: 25-06-2013 - 24-06-2014 = 0

I intend to appli for ILR on 27-05-2014. Is it OK; need expert cross of my calculation.
Is is ok? as I was not in UK on START of the CLOCK (25-06-2009) for the qualifying period. Thanks

I think this makes sense as there are not only success examples but also analysing the scenario of first entry within 90 days; days before entry are considered as qualified period where the applicant was not present in UK on the start of clock (Start date of Visa). Hope some Guru will endrose it. Thanks

[/quote]It's not clear whether all your absences were while you were unpaid in the UK. But if they were, then reading this thread will help. It appears the UKBA are stating that any absence that was taken while unemployed in the UK would be considered a break in continuous residence. You cannot quote a serious compelling reason(s) for those absences. Even though the UKBA provided the above response, I have seen other recent success stories on this forum where the applicants were not questioned about their unpaid absences, so I would recommend you go through these to understand what case workers have requested post 13th Dec 2012 when the rule changes came into effect. I believe the key will be providing a credible reason for each of unpaid absences - if they were short in duration and you were employed soon after each and also have P60's for each of those years it would make that task easier.[/quote]
Hi CS95TDG/Senior memebrs,
Is this [Absences due to the applicant travelling to see family and friends whilst unemployed would break the continuous period for ILR, as they are not work-related or for compelling or compassionate reasons] still TRUE after October, 2013 Rules of absence? Thanks
