No, Because you had valid leave on the date of your departure and on the date of your return to the UK, and it within six months. See the guidance.godfather.rocks wrote:I want to apply for ILR (on basis of 10 years’ continuous stay) but not sure if my continuous stay is broken.. and if I should proceed for application.
Currently, I am in the UK on Tier 1 work-permit, that expires in 2014.
I first came to the UK on 8th September 2002 on student visa. I kept extending my student-visa while being in the UK as I did multiple courses. When I finished my course, I left the UK on 27th October 2008 (then the student visa was valid until 31th October 2009).
While in India, I got another entry-clearance visa (Post-Study Tier 1 visa) on 3rd March 2009 and then I came back to the UK to work on 20th March 2009.
Please suggest? Has the 10 years’ continuous lawful residence been broken in that case? If so, why?
I hope, not.
Also do not forget to enclose photocopies of passports pages with stamps and visas on, BRP, and LIUK pass notification letter.Graceofgod wrote:Hi,godfather.rocks wrote:Thanks dreamfriend..! That surely assures me.
Can you (or somebody else) please confirm regarding documents required as well?
The documents you mentioned above are sufficient to support your SET(0) application on 10 years lawful stay basis.
Wish you good luck,
Just noticed that I mentioned the dates wrong in my original email - my student-visa was valid untill 31st Oct 2008, not 31st Oct 2009.dreamfriend wrote:No, Because you had valid leave on the date of your departure and on the date of your return to the UK, and it within six months.

Note that leave is not required when you are outside the UK. You had valid leave when exiting and entering the UK, within six months.dreamfriend wrote:You left on 27th of October 2008 and returned 20th of March 2009 So its within six month. So your continuous lawful residence was not broken.
It does not matter if there are more then one entry clearances. It has to be with in six month leave and entry date. "Continuous residence is not broken as the applicant had valid leave both when they left and returned to the UK"
Continuous residence is considered to be broken if the applicant has:
"been absent from the UK for a period of more than six months at any one time, or is absent from the UK for a shorter period but does not have valid leave to enter the UK on their return, or valid leave to remain on their departure from the UK"
