Hi All,
Just to share my good experience with PEO Solihull again.
Fortunately application was success full without any hurdle and my wife got ILR. But I had to use SET(o) form not SET(M). This may be useful for those who's situation is same as mine.
Thanks to Forum again for many valuable post.

Hello UKResident123,

Hi All, Thanks for your nice suggestion. I am getting appointment in B'gham 4 days after than the Croydon.

Hi All, I am thinking to apply for ILR in 01 March 2011. I have few queries to comment by expert and/or experienced. 1. In counting of no. of days absent from UK do they exclude Saturday Sunday and public holiday or not? 2. My hsmp is after 6/04/2006 and before 06/11/2010 before that I was on WP. So...

Hello Vijay B,
This is not related to your querry but I need one information from you. Does your daughter go to Uni in UK. If yes do you pay home fee or Internation student fee without having an ILR? My daughter is going to Uni this year and I also don't have ILR so this will be great help.

Hi Mrlookforward, Thanks for your comment.

This clearly indicates that one can be out side UK on business related activity with ou...

Hi All, I have one doubt about permissible absence, Here is my situation. I came in UK in March 2006 on WP and HSMP taken in Aug 2006. I am due to apply for for ILR in Feb 2011. My total absent so far from UK is 233 days ( including weekend) in which 71 days are either official biz trip or paid holi...

One of the requirements of ILR is - <180 days absence from UK and a max of 90 days within one year. Hi Hert, I think I have raised this question before and it was concluded in discussion that there is no mention of max 90 days absent in one year rather it says one stretch or at a time. So, could yo...

Hi,
If you are not paid in UK then its not business trip from UK point of view?
I have not seen in policy document abt the weekend and public holiday discounting, but I have read some post from people who has applied and got ILR with similar kind of info.
Best Regards

Hi Nischerry,
As of the policy document and the reply I got from HO, the business trip and paid holiday don't count towards your absence from UK. So your absence will not be counted as absent from UK due to business trip.
Best Regards

Hi All, Thank you very much for your valuable answer. Now I am clear that for ILR 180 days (in case of JR) and 225 days normal absence is OK provided one stretch does not exeed 90 days. Answer to F2K, I am due to apply for ILR in Feb.2011. Thanks again to every one specially Global Gypsy and Salina ...

Hi Mr Hert and Mr. Sushil, Thank you very much for your reply. Mr. Sushil if I am not wrong the HO reply says 90 days at a time not in a year so the confusion is that if a person is absent less than 90 days at a time but less than 180 days in a year is fine or not. If 180 days is OK in a year in a s...
