Also I beleive that to be eligible for ILR you should be working in the skilled profession for which you were given the visa It doesn't matter which skilled profession you stated when applying for the visa, you are not required to continue in that profession in the UK. It can be anything, as long a...

I guess, you are wrong. The most recent bank statement should be dated no more than seven days before the EC application is submitted. There is no mention of "transaction date". For instance, you submitted EC application on 12th August, the bank statement should not be dated before 5th August, wher...

Further all evidences provided should be original - no copies are allowed. No where in the policy guidance it is stated that the letter should state activity. If the above points are covered in the letter - then it is sufficient. That's true. My mistake, I guess. I should have submitted the origina...

Thanks Mr Baboo! That makes sense. In that case, I suppose the thing to do would be to apply for another 2 year extension and qualify for ILR when the 5 years have been accumulated?

You can't be absent for more than 6 months in total (of the qualifying 5 year period) but no single gap should be longer than 3 months. Hi Mr Baboo, I was wondering if that 3 month limit applies to the initial period of the Tier 1 visa too? Specifically, would entering the UK more than 3 months aft...

Yes, you should definitely contact them. It would be helpful if you can show them documentation or quote from an official source such as the UK Border Agency on the matter.
