I have called couple of immigration lawyers, few of them told me that they are confident to win my case for a price of £1000 to £1700 where others told me that my "continuous residence" is considered to be broken. So guys what do you think in my case? I have been out of the UK for about 750 days in...

Guys I'm really dispirit, any help will be much appreciated. Thank you To be honest with you , your case is considered as non straightforward as your absences are way beyond threshold. One off 181 days absences at one stretch can probably be overlooked or justified if you were sick or missed the fl...

HR manager with no knowledge of immigration & visa status. Are there not any foreign nationals other than British working in that company? In your case, you have got ILR which gives you rights to live and work indefinitely without any restrictions. That so called HR manager may not be familiar with ...

Your case will be dealt by typical UKBA. Straightforward cases take six to 12 months but non straightforward cases take about 4 to 6 months. That is UKBA style not Gangnam style.

SAR normally include first landing card details. You can write to the best of your memories and enclose a covering letter exp...
