SET (O) - SECTION 6 - IMMIGRATION HISTORY Query

[mihirranjan]

What is the correct answer to the following question in Set (O) form:

6.1 When did you (the main applicant) first enter the UK? This refers to the date of your first entry into the UK at the beginning of the period of stay on which this application is based.

Possible answers: The application is based on 5 year stay as a work permit holder. So, is it the starting date of the 5 year permit even if the person was already in UK when this was granted (i.e. 06/2008). Or, the first entry date to UK regardless of the category (i.e. 04/2005 - first entry to UK on student visa)

this is a tricky question made me mistake once the right answer is 06/2008.

Thanks Emrah.

I thought so but as the next question in the application asks to give details of all the absences from the UK, so just wanted to make sure that its correct.

Emrah is right. 06/2008 is correct,as the ILR application is based on your 5 years. But have all the documents before that too. If the CW asks you could give it.

Thanks Kevin and Emrah for the confirmation.

One more question - should I take evidence of all absences from work. They hardly add up to 100 days and that to be all paid annual leave and no work related absences. Although in the application it shows that work permit category do not have to provide any evidences.

6.2 Quote
"Evidence of all work-related absences (including paid annual leave) is required from those applying under Tier 1 (General);Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer);Tier 2 (General); Tier 2 (Minister of religion); Tier 2 (Sportsperson); Tier 5 International Agreement, and permitted employment categories - except Highly Skilled Migrants."
