Can I apply for ILR?
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2018 10:06 pm
I came into UK Nov 2013 under a Tier 1 general dependant visa . This visa expired in December 2015.
I put in an in time valid application for extension in Dec 2015 before my visa expired. The HO only responded in February 2018 with a refusal.
I then applied for an administrative review within 14 days in February 2018. This was also refused in April 2018. So I left UK in April 2018.
Fortunately, in August I secured a Tier 2 visa to work for my company in UK so I am now back. I returned in August 2018.
Since I have not been away from UK for up to 180 days, do you think I can still apply for ILR to be considered exceptionally in November 2018? I complete 5 years in November except for the period I was away from April 2018 to August 2018... this is less than 180 days.
Please advise.
