ILR Set (O) - Last line on page 12 of 61: "If you are unable to meet the appropriate rate of pay because you are on maternity, paternity or adoption leave you should answer questions 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8. If this does not apply to you, please go to section 6." I understand this applies to someone who IS...

Thank you for the replies. I find this a bit contradictory that you are allowed to apply 28 days before becoming eligible while the continuous stay in the UK guideline suggests that the 5 years absence calculation starts from the day of application. Therefore, based on the above example, I'm still u...

Can anyone please answer my queries? or direct me to someone who can answer these?
Many thanks.

Any suggestions guys?

Hello I'm becoming eligible to apply for ILR on 30th May as per the new 180 days absence rules.

People took assignments and business travels with companies after checking with UKBA about discretion for wor...

I completed all the documents and paperwork from the company for my long absences due to work but couldn't apply due to new rules. I also asked the gurus here for their opinion: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=12...

Thank you pkumar and ban.s for your replies. Yes, I was being paid into my bank account in the UK. Number of days out in first year: 285. My query is particular to the new discretion statement of not considering work related absences as exceptional. In other words, aparently SEOs and case workers ca...

Seniors? Gurus? Anybody?

Please share your experience. Thanks.

Hello everyone, Under the new rules and policy guidance for ILR, continous period is considered to be broken if the number of days are greater than 180 in any year. The new policy guidance for discretion for work related cases states: "Absences in excess of 180 days in any 12 month period for employ...
