Hi vgadde, My understanding is that the ILR qualifiying period starts from the date you enter UK ( in case the qualifying visa was granted outside uk). For your post, i can see that you first entered UK on 26th May 2008. You can apply for ILR 28 days before completing 5 years. ( ie after 2nd May 201...

chosenaik, Could you share the email from UKBA please? My ILR application was rejected as I had broken 180 day rule and 90 day rule. I had two absence of more than 90 days and this was a business trip. While calculating the absence the case worker listed all in a spreadsheet and counted the number o...
@vtp - I got a call from UKBA to come and collect the documents. During the submission of application, I had asked the case worker that wanted to collect in person. @Calos - They said that I have not completed continuous 5 years and have broken the 180 day rule and 90 day rule. They have referred tw...
Yes, I will be posting my tier 1 extension application on monday. There is no consistency with UKBA on how they deal with absences and luck did not favour me. One of my colleague got ILR with 450 + day absence ( with 2 absence more than 90 days) but not me. Our cases were exactly similar. Anyways, a...
Folks, I got my documents back and my ILR has been refused. They have not given the right to appeal. I had absence of 339 days ( around 240 business trip and 99 leave). The reason for rejection is not not spending continuous 5 years as I had two absence of more than 90 days. Even though the absence ...
Guys, Ask your MP to drop an email, I did the same and I guess it worked as I emailed him on Tuesday and he email HO on Tuesday and the visa was stamped on Wed so I am guessing this had some impact. Thanks, PK Hi PK, Could you please let us know how you contacted your MP? And what the MP email cont...
Thanks for the encouragement. Its so hard to wait. I know a couple of us have waited months before anything came through. I did give my Employer's letter stating my role in the assignment as well as why I had to go. I would appreciate any answer on the above questions I have posed. Do I send them a...
I called up Croydon office today and was told the below information 1. Since additional documents were asked on the case, this will now be treated as a postal application 2. You are legally eligible to stay in the country until you hear back on the decision of your application ( even if it's after ...
Apologies for not responding earlier. @Vinny & Ash, My Tier 1 Visa expires on 29th March 2012. I was not sure if I will be allowed to extend Tier 1 visa if UKBA rejects my ILR application after my current visa expires. I asked the case worker this question and she said that this depends on senior ca...
Could you please let me know the process the for the ILR Set(O) application withdrawal and the time it takes to get all the documents back from the day of withdrawal?
