vrsec666 - I agree with your points above...... and so do two immigration advisers I deal with.....the defining factor about satisfying a continuous 5 year period for ILR is 245AAA (a) and having an "unbroken period with valid leave" which is the 180 day rule..... According to the below link, a Tier...
I reckon the reason for this change is to address current Tier 1 General ILR applicants, who were previously on one of the lower categories (eg. tier 2, WP, etc) in the earlier part of their 5 year qualifying period........I dont believe they expect such evidence for applicants whose 5 years qualify...

Wildjoe - my case is a little different in that my total absences over the entire 5 years is 172 (but similar to your case in other respects). I have been given positive advice overall from various agencies regarding my unpaid holiday leave situation.
well said cs95tdg.....wildjoe dont stress, from what i have been told, some agencies say certain things to secure potential clients quickly...especially when you are just phoning around like that.... I am going to use an agency however just for the security and peace of mind I dont think wildjoe (an...
where does it state that same day application at PEO is ONLY for complicated cases? If you pay the premium, you get to apply in person at PEO....simple as that isnt it? my understanding is that it can still be reviewed further even at PEO same day applications... phone a few more consultancies for s...
Have a read of paragraph 245AAA ( part a) and b) ) in the immigration rules....does your absences comply with these rules? This seems to define whether ones 5 year qualifying period remain unbroken or not.....
Im in a similar position here (Tier 1 General) and I am confident we are ok......forget about the many ambiguities in this backup guidance document on absences ......what about paragraph 245AAA ( a) and b) ) in the actual immigration rules? http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationl...
congrats! i am in a very similar situation to you, on HSMP/T1, i am applying in mid May though.... i have 172 absences in total over the 5 years, no absences over 3 months - (possibly now irrelevant) , biggest ambiguity, one unpaid absence of 63 days (travel/holiday)....so fingers crossed.........fr...
still awaiting a reply, been working closely with my immigration consultants, my situation should be fine so not worried..... its all about the 180 day/90 day rule in 5 years! if you are within this, I believe you will be fine

FOR GENERAL DISCUSSION I would appreciate anyone's feedback on this or if anyone has heard anything on the following points or anything else on the Dec 2012 changes: * If ones absences are less than 180 days in total and less than...
