Hi,

I am on Tier 1 General visa valid till Jun 2015

I first come in Oct 2008, so in Oct 2013 I can try for ILR. One concern is I was out of country for almost 8 month in 2009,

My query is if my ILR is refused for this reason ( contineous stay broken), do I still continue to have current valid leave under Tier 1 general upto Jun 2015? So then I can try again in March 2015.

Please experts can you help me, What happens with my current leave to remain under tier 1 general if my ILR is refused due to contineous stay broken reason ?

Thanks in Advance,
Neti

sorry forgot to add this bit,

In Oct 2013, I am hoping to use 180 day in 12 year bucket rule, I will try to break those 8 months as 4 in previous year and 4 in next year

If you satisfy <180 days rule you will be fine provided you meet other criteria. In case of refusal your T1 status will still be the same i.e, valid until june 2015.

Please continue in your other thread.
