Hi Members
Could you pl advise if I am eligible to file for ILR given the below facts
I obtained the first HSMP visa on December 2005 for one year (old scheme) and further four years' extension in October 2006 (as rules changed to allow ILR after 5 years stay). These visas run out in December 2010 and after Judicial review I became eligible for ILR after 4 years viz. December 2009.
However, as during this period I spent two and half years outside the country for employment purposes - my UK employer sent me to their global office operations in the USA, would it be counted towards my continuous stay in the UK or I have violated the terms of the scheme and hence wouldn't be eligible for the ILR? FYI- my salary slips during the period of stay in the USA were generated by the USA office and credited into the USA Bank account
Any genuine advice kindly appreciated!
Thanks!
