Re: Does the clock reset after 720 days after ILR??

Thanks Milan, I have read the document carefully. I still cannot work out the 7 years period when it says in case of absences upto 730 days, 7 years residence would be expected. I know the absences are counted in the last 5 years but when are the 7 years counted from. My son for example came to UK i...

Re: Does the clock reset after 720 days after ILR??

Thanks akhurshid. So the safe bid would be to apply in 2018 as he came to UK in 2013. That would complete his 5 years without any absences. And with discretion of home office he could apply in 2016 when he would complete 7 years but with 700 absences, am I right??

No need for children born in the UK to get ILR first, as John stated. Apply for their registration under section 1(3), AFTER you get your ILR. Once Registration Certificate is received then apply for their pasport.
