How UKVA verifies that you were out of UK during 5 years as UKBA doesnt have EXIT Stamp when you come back from UK?parasiteslost wrote:Hi all,
I need some advise applying for ILR. I am currently on HSMP and applying using the SET(O) application form.
It does stipulate that I'm required to stay no more than 180 days in 5 years outside the UK to be eligible for ILR.
Reading the guidance, I see there is some leeway on compassionate grounds.

Over the past 5 years, I have been out of the UK for 215 days. But only 161 days were for annual leave. I had to take 54 days off work for seeking treatment abroad as advised by my NHS surgeon.
Would my sick leave count towards the 180 days or can I get away with it?
Many thanks!
John

I got that we have to declare absentees our own in ILR but how UKBA will cross verify that data with their absentees information as i think they maintain no information for Exitees.gidoc wrote:180 days outside UK will still apply and includes ' all absences from UK'. For your ' sickness absence' you should have documentary evidence that it was essential for your condition.
Best to apply at PEO and take your chances, as this is upto the case worker
Best wishes
I guess you could ask UKBA for clarification on how they verify this data by sending a freedom of information act request?alipa wrote: I got that we have to declare absentees our own in ILR but how UKBA will cross verify that data with their absentees information as i think they maintain no information for Exitees.
