Dear Moderators ,

I have the following question regarding the employment section of ILR (LR) application

1) Annual Earning – gross salary varies every year based on the tax code, can I mention the gross earning numbers as per the previous P60. Yes you can or use current monthly average to calculate

2) Job Title - This should be as per the current designation or this should match as per the previous live to remain application.In my earlier visa extension application company mentioned the designation as per the job market list provided by gov.uk. current designation as this is what will be in your employer letter

3) When did you start working for this company – I am an EXPAT ,so do I need to mention start date with this company in USA (15 years) or start date of my work in UK post deputation (10 Years) ? i was deputed to UK after 5 years of my work with company in USA.either one you input then clarify in cover letter.

4) Telephone number – Can I give specific HR number so that any calls gets answered as General number answered by reception? i have seen some rejections in the board as there was no response to home office calls. What of the numbers on the company headed paper?? If you have got one that will definitely be answered. Note that not all employers are called upon

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Regards,Simon

Hello Dear Admins/Moderators,

I have the following question regarding the postal address – ILR (LR).

Whilst applying for an ILR (LR) , I am moving between the flats and currently living in a hotel for 30 days.

In the application there is a section which asks your Postal address & the date from when you started living in that address. They have mentioned that they may use this address to send the BRP Card and for any correspondence regarding the application


My Questions relating to the above

1) Can i give my current hotel address as my postal address as i am receiving the other posts here

2) Can i give my Solicitors office address as the postal address, additionally explaining my house movement in covering letter ? Can they send the BRP to solictors office as he is representing my case.

3) If in case ,any additional correspondence required will they do with the applicant or with the solicitor who is representing the case ?

4) Can i give my friends address as C/O address.

5) I did a sample application where i mentioned hotel address & gave start date as 01/2024 ,the application dint ask any proof etc .Is there any need to show the minimum stay period in the given address etc .


Thanks in advance for your responses.
Regards,Simon

Dear group members/moderators

I have explained my stay in UK for 12 yrs in 2 phases below and have 9 valid questions regarding ILR 10yrs route – Answers to these may also help others in similar situation.

Phase #1
 28-May-2011 - Initial Visa granted
 01-Aug-2011 – Came to UK
 01-Aug-2021 – Completed 10 yrs. in UK in the same visa category had multiple extensions for 10yrs

Summary of this phase #1
• Between In the above phase of 10years stayed outside UK just for 325 days and no breakage of 540days /180 days criteria.
• Had continuous lawful residence for 10 yrs.
• All the leave to remain extensions made on time
• No visa (extension) rejections nor overstay till date
• Not travelled outside UK during any visa extensions
• I have paid taxes all years via company accountant and up-to –date
• I have cleared English language test and Life in UK test.

Phase #2
 15-Sep-2021 to 09-Mar-2022 – Out of UK due to personal health & family emergency for 176 days & had valid leave to remain visa whilst being outside UK
 05-Apr-2022- to 26-Sep-2022 - Out of UK due to personal health & family emergency for 174 days & had valid leave to remain visa whilst being outside UK
 01-Sep-2023 – Had another extension of the visa after coming back to UK
 26-Sep-2022 to till date – living in UK and having valid leave to remain

Summary of this phase #2
Total days outside UK from 01-Aug-2011 to till date for a period of 12.5 years are 675 days. Not stayed more than 180 days at any given time.please note here that after 10 yrs i had to stay for 350 days outside UK.

Question to group members/moderators - Longs questions but very relavent /important ,thanks for reading.

Based on the details mentioned in the case worker guide page#8
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... idence.pdf

1) Currently living UK having valid leave to remain, As of today is I am eligible for ILR based on the phase #1 details I mentioned above as I have built 10 yrs. of legal leave to remain between 01August 2011 to 01August 2021 as there is no breakage of 180/540 days absence + I am in UK now having valid leave to remain? The guide says I can rely on the 10yrs built in the past, even I leave /re-enter Uk apply basis of valid leave to remain being in UK .
Can you please confirm on this?

2) Do I need to count the absence from date of visa granted to date of arrival to UK between 28-May-2011 to 01-Aug-2011? Or is the 10 yrs validity stars from date of entry to UK ?

3) Do I need to provide the explanation for being outside UK in 2021/2022 for 350 days in total for any compassionate circumstances (I know they don’t exercise any) and submit the proof of documentation for being outside UK even though I am claiming the eligibility of 10 yrs between 01August 2011 to 01August 2021

4) Even though I am living in UK for 12.5 years now , how do I mention In the ILR application that I am claiming the 10 yrs between 01August 2011 to 01August 2021,do I need to provide these details in covering letter ?

5) As my long absence is post 10 yrs completion of valid leave to remain eligibility ( not to be confused with the clause - long absence towards 10yrs of completion) , will this be considered as a case of me not having intention to live in UK? do I need to substantiate anything in covering letter for this ?

6) Me currently not having valid driving license and living in hotels last 1 year will add anything to the doubt I am not having intention to live in UK if ILR is granted? I hope I don’t need toprovide any valid address proof for ILR?

7) Do I need to mention why delay in applying ILR in the covering letter being stayed for 12 years?

Having non molestation order in UK or divorce will have any impact on ILR approval? Do we need to mention this in the application covering letter?

9) What evidence I need to provide if I mention the marital status as SEPARATED in the application? Or just mentioning /selecting the option = ‘Separated’ from drop-down in the online application is good enough.

Thank you for your responses.
Simon
