My wife stayed with me in UK for 2 years and 2 weeks before travelling outside UK for maternity...she was out of UK for 1 year and for the last 6 months, she's in UK. 1.

This info is quite helpful. It mentions that the person should have completed atleast 2 years. My wife had spent 2 years in UK and then was outside of UK for maternity for 11 months. So, i believe if we provide co-habitation documents for the first 2 years and the lastest 5 months before ILR (since ...

hi Vinny, I went through this document and it explains for main applicants. The immigration rules explains that any dependant should have spent atleast 2 years and for co-habitation proofs to be submitted upto 2 years. My wife was away from UK for 11 months due to complications in pregnancy. Luckily...

I think if you produce documents (or letter) from your employer saying that the businness trip is required (or needed) to perform your role and during that period you are paid in UK and continued to be employed in UK, HO may exempt those days..

Is there any more chnages to be done in July 2011?

Hi Vijay, The documents doesn't say that you need a letter, but it has been part of best practice to submit one (its upto the applicant's wish). The format is simple, that the HR department has to confirm that you as current employee in xxx department, since xxx
