NARIC- statement for ILR

Hi Everyone

I am in UK under tier-2 (general visa) which was

Issued in 22nd December 2014 and first entry to UK was 31st of Jan-2015.

Visa is valid through 19th October-2020.

I am planning to apply for ILR on 25th of May-2020 which provides opportunity to split the absence in two consecutive year, as I was travelling out side UK for work. Though I was travelling my salary was paying regularly and paying all tax, NI etc.

in 2017 I was outside the Uk for 255days from december-2016 to december-2017, not continues I was coming back after every 3weeks to join the work and family in UK. and I was paid regularly without any break.

as I am planning to apply in May-2020 the above travel date would split in two years depends on the date of application for ILR.

I shall take all the supporting documents from company as the travel was purely due to role requirement.

Following are the clarification which I would like to have from this forum

• Am I allowed to split the year depends on date of application for ILR which suites the applicant convenient
• I am allowed to choose the date of application,
• Is it rolling 12months period applicable in my situation (visa was issued in 2015 and valid through 2020) as my qualifying years are before the new rule implemented in Jan-2018 (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... -v18.0.pdf

thanks in advance

thank you very much for your reply... it definitely helps to prepare accordingly

Thanks Zimba for your quick response...

Yes, Though am eligible for applying ILR 28 days before my visa issue date which is 17/11/2019 (visa issued date was 14/12/2015). I would like to apply in May-2020 which suits my absence days outside the UK to split in two years depends on application date..

is there restriction or compulsory to apply immediately at 5 years or can applicant choose depends on their convenient (in my case it helps me to split the absence days) and visa is valid upto 19th October-2020

thanks in advance

You can apply at any time once you meet the requirements.

Hi

I am currently on Tier(2) general visa - enter through PBS, while entering in UK, I had taken IELTS (reading, writing, speaking and listening) exam in UAE (as I was residing there). through that i had fulfilled english requirement for entry. in 2020, I will be completing 5yrs in UK to apply for ILR.

Do I need to take again IELTS exam for ILR, my previous certificate was valid only for 2yrs.

If that still valid do I need produce original as I have only copy (Original was given along with application for Tier-2 and never took back from the application centre).

I had scored 5.5 originally is that equivalent to B1 requirement for ILR.

thanks in advance for your support
