Re: Meaning of "Immigration Bail to a Person Detained or Liable to be Detained"

Time spent as an overstayer is NOT lawful stay. You need 10 years of LAWFUL stay for ILR. Overstaying will only be discarded if it is between two periods of leave.

There is a always a risk. 36 days should be enough though. HO needs to give you extension if you want to attend ceremony after 3 months

Re: British passport- can it take more than 6 weeks to process?

You cannot have your cake and eat it too. You either should wait and get a passport or prioritise travel. If you attend the ceremony, you must get a British passport to travel back as your BRP will be invalid. The first passport could take 15-20 days to arrive

Re: Meaning of "Immigration Bail to a Person Detained or Liable to be Detained"

I explained it very clearly above in Feb. You can apply within 14 days but that does not mean you are not an overstayer as your section 3C ends. In-time means applying when you still have valid visa :!: :!:

You will be eligible for ILR under long residence in 2020. The gap did not break continuity as you left with a valid visa and returned within 6 months

You can travel whenever you want. However you may choose to become British and attend the ceremony after you done your travels. The naturalisation may take several months itself

You seem to be in denial despite the fact that you have been an overstayer as pointed out by your solicitor and as I explained above. You did NOT apply in-time for ILR and you were an overstayer since then. You also do NOT have 10 years of lawful stay. You are now also subject to removal and must re...

Question 1) Do you think extensive absences in 2017 and Visitor visas in this case may affect the long residence ILR application? No Question 2) Should I have applied for the visitor visa (or any other) within 28 days after I left in 2016 ? Or does that 28 day rule apply only if you've overstayed /...

Re: Tier 1 Spouse Visa - 5 Years (ILR) calculations

There is no need for an extension. The old premium service centers are closed and replaced with UKVCAS centers. This is also NOT a same day service See: https://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/online-applications-ukvcas-appointments-brp-queries-read-before-you-post-t270084.html ...

Re: SET (O) Or SET (M)

While the advice given by CR001 is technically correct, you still can apply before eligibility date and get ILR as long as you are within 28 days on the day of your decision.

Re: Tier 2 to ILR, couple months unpaid with previous employer

I suggest to remind your expert solicitor that ILR requirements are not the same as Tier 2 extension. Under the Tier 2 rules, your sponsor must stop sponsoring you if you take an unpaid leave for more than 4 weeks and during ILR, checks will be made to ensure that you or your sponsor did not breach ...
