Relocating to Schengen while on Tier1(G) in UK

Post by hiigbo » Fri Aug 28, 2015 9:00 am

Great respect for members of this forum. pls i need help.
i am a male non eu national on Tier1(G) but planning to join my eu fiancee who is not willing to join me here due to a lucrative job in Hungary- she insists i move in with her asap! And i love her anyway.
My concern: if i move to Hungary, marry her there, what happens to my UK-Tier1 G permit? What are my options? I will be qualified for UK ILR in Aug 2016.
Pls advise

If you are absent for more than 180 days in 12 months, you will likely face refusal.

If you are not living and working in the UK, you will not qualify for ILR. Tier 1 G is an employment visa and you would need to provide proof of income for 12/15 months when applying for ILR.

Tier 1 General route is now closed for extensions, so you need to decide what is important to your circumstances.

Even ILR lapses if you do not live in the UK for 2 years or more.

Hi CR001,

If someone was on ILR and she is back home for more than one and half year...


So do you advise she needs to come back before two years over and then she can go back ???


is it like a rule you can not be out of the country for more than two years while on ILR ??
Does it apply to children too which are under 18.??

Please advise.

Thx

It applies to everyone holding an ILR visa. Brief visits won't break the period of absence. This means that in order to retain ILR status your wife would need to prove she is settled in the UK and not simply visiting.

ILR would be revoked and she would have to apply for a visitor visa.

Yes it will expire automatically without notice. I've already done my best to explain that if your daughter enters for a brief visit before the 2 year cut-off date, she won't reset the clock. i.e she won't gain another 2 year period of absence. She is likely to be refused entry and returned on the next available flight.
By the way, the confusion over the question being about your daughter, is due to the fact that you high jacked another member's thread, who was asking about his fiancee! :?
