Spouse visa toward ILR

[newbee195]

hi,

I just want to know that if somebody has spouse visa, then is it possible for him/her to get ILR after 5 years, when he/she is not living in UK, but out of UK with his/her UK-Citizen-spouse.

For example, that UK-citizen spouse has got some job out of UK and he/she has moved out of UK, but she kept spouse visa. Then is it possible for him/her to get ILR after probationary period of 5 years?

somebody said that by the new changes in UK immigration laws it is possible. I will be thankful if you will share your knowledge.

f you have spent a limited time abroad in connection with your job, for example, this should not count against you.

However, living abroad permanently is unlikely to amount to limited. Moreover, when (if) you come to naturalise as British then time outside the UK shouldn't be excessive see here
