Between 6 July 2004 and Jan 2005, you were an overstayer. I think it's advisable to ask the opinion of an immigration consultant/lawyer.softboy wrote:Gosh. This is driving me nuts.
My previous leave in 2004 expired on 6 July 2004, although my Employers put the new WP application before the expiry of the leave, I was able to only send the FLR on 1 September 2004.
....
Everything went through smooth, except that I received my FLR in January 2005.
Actualy you are responsible at the end of the day. I can understand your confusion as to doing so but you are still required to apply before the deadline irrespective that there was a delay in the WP portion. So thus the need for a good solicitor to represent you.softboy wrote:Yes agreed technically I could be deemed as an overstayer between July and September 2004.
The delay was caused because there were additional documents that Work Permits UK requested from my Employers at that time. This caused a delay in the WP approval.
Now why should I be responsible and made liable for this exchange of requests between Work Permits UK and my Employers. I have done nothing wrong. I have a very clean record and have made significant contributions to my Employer's business.

The home office used to turn a blind eye to these gaps and overstays for WP-based ILR. Actually, it's only a couple of months ago that we started hearing ILR being refused because of those (both 5 and 10 years).softboy wrote:Surprisingly, I had started a similar thread at that time in 2005.
I was told that the 4-month gap should not be a problem.

I personally know someone who was turned down for ILR based on WP (2 years) and HSMP (3 years) because there was a 3 day gap between his leave to remain between the WP and the HSMP visa.paulp wrote:The home office used to turn a blind eye to these gaps and overstays for WP-based ILR.

How long ago was that Dawie? I recently learned about two refusals (one first-hand and another third-hand) on 10-year long-stay in the last 2 months.Dawie wrote:I personally know someone who was turned down for ILR based on WP (2 years) and HSMP (3 years) because there was a 3 day gap between his leave to remain between the WP and the HSMP visa.
