Hi,
I'm confused about the tere "continuous period of 4 years".
Following is my case:
I came here in UK on 2nd Nov, 2001 and had been here in Work Permit until 9th May, 2003. I, then, got back to India. During this period i was getting salary in India and getting allowances here in UK. So i was not paying any tax and NI in this period. Can this period be added in when cosidering for ILR? Note my WP was valid until 10 Aug, 2003.
I came again back to UK in 10th Sep, 2003 in WP, this time i got UK employer who has offered me WP. Till then i'm here in UK.
Point ot be Noted
1. I was in India from 9th May, 2003 to 10 Sep, 2003 which is almost 4 months.
2. My old WP expires on 10th Aug, 2003.
3. And my new WP started on 10th Sep, 2003.
My questions are:
1. Will my old WP period be taken into consideration in ILR? Please consider that i was in india for 4 months in between. and there is a 1 month gap between two WP.
2. Is it necessary that you have to pay Tax and NI for entire 4 yrs to apply for ILR?
I'm afraid of lossing my previous 2 yrs period due to 4 months gap.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Manish
