Maternity Leave time off in 5 year period

Post by MissionPossible » Sun Jan 12, 2014 11:31 pm

Gurus,

I currently have leave to remain in UK under TIER 2 General (for a shortage occupation SOC ) and would be making ILR application after 2016.
I'll be going on maternity leave of about 9 months this year (will be in UK for most of the time thus not breaking 180 day rule).

Query:
Will the time that I spend in UK on maternity leave be finally counted towards my 5 year of continuous stay ? :roll:

Many thanks in advance :wink:

Continuity means your physical presence in UK. Yes it will. ''This is a wicked idea for the jobsworths in Home office to pick up i.e to treat holidays as break in continuity!! :D ''.
