ILR Absence Spouse Visa

Post by chursy » Mon Dec 10, 2012 3:36 pm

Hi

I am on a Biometric residence permit ( Spouse Visa) visa for two years following the old rules as i got the visa in April 2012 so will be eligible for ILR in two years time.

Can someone please clarify the absences allowable for me within this period? is it 180 days collective over two years or split between the two years as 90 days each.

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Where did you get that from? It would be helpful if you gave your information source. Otherwise we are as clueless as you are.

Please do not send me PM if I haven't sent you one yet.

I had called the homeoffice twice and got different information both the times.

One said its 180 days and the other said 90 days each year

The 90 day absence in 12 month rule only applies to qualification for British Citizenship, not spouse ILR.
