ILR Absence simple question - yes or no

[un1versal]

I will make my question simple and go step by step with each thread.Already gone through lot of threads but now totally confused ?



My understanding is that if you were on Tier 1 General , as long as your absences don't exceed 180 in any 12 month period counting backwards from the date of your ILR application and don't exceed 90 at any one time, you are not required to submit any evidence.

[Amber]

Yes for PBS applicants.

[un1versal]

Yes for PBS applicants.

don't exceed 90 at any one time
is that also true ?

[Amber]

No, but you may be asked for evidence for any absence though it's unlikely.

[un1versal]

No, but you may be asked for evidence for any absence though it's unlikely.

1.180 per year is fact.
2. if more than 90 days - by evidence - any specific area/document i need to be careful of ?

[un1versal]

Yes for PBS applicants.

btw, thanks for taking your time to reply.

[Amber]

You should be prepared to evidence any absence though it's unlikely to be required.

[un1versal]

You should be prepared to evidence any absence though it's unlikely to be required.

lets say#
if holiday - flight, hotel etc booking.

if business - is there any specific guidelines or specific documents relevant to specific categories ?( lets say if someone in category of 1.salaried transfer/2.self-employed/ 3.runs own company needs to keep hold of any specific documents)

Hi @Amber
first of all i must appreciate your excellent knowledge/experience and bigheartedness for helping here.
though i am still 3 yrs away to be eligible for ILR, I got real concern with recent change to ILR continuous period. I am on Tier-1(General)
After Dec-2012 any paid leaves need employer letter and any unpaid leaves seem to break continuous stay? I have unpaid leaves just before this change on Aug-Sept 2012., though my total out of country is hovering around 70 days, which i can reduce if post-pone ILR application by couple of months, as i immediately went back for 1 month on entry and came back to start employment tenure.
Also, how is this rule change JUSTIFIED for contractors who don't have annual leaves? this may discourage me to take up contractual work.

[Amber]

So long as your absences do not exceed 180 days in any 12 month period you should be ok. If you can get a letter to support the absences then it's perhaps wise if not, wage slips covering the period should suffice. Though, if you have neither I wouldn't fret as its unlikely you'd be asked for evidence.

The letter should suffice but it's unlikely that you'll even be asked for evidence. LIUK is sufficient for KOLL settlement if you're applying before October 28, 2013.
