Tier 1 Ent. new rule 2016

Dear Members,

Latest policy update

In order to obtain ILR (Indefinite leave to remain) and later, naturalisation applicants cannot have spent more than 180 days absence in one year. Under the old rules, the time between the visa issue date and the date of their first entry into the UK was not considered an absence if the person had entered within 90 days of their visa.
As of today, the time between the visa issue date and date of first entry WILL be considered an absence towards the total 180 days absences allowed in that year.
Is that applying on the initial application done in 2014? because the guidance in 2014 did not contain such this rule. Many people who did not calculate that period will face a problem in ILR.
Thanks,

Entry clearance grants you extra 4 months on top of the 3 years to enter Britain (totally you get 3 years and 4 months) Why did you arrive so late without a compelling reason ?? If such an absence at the end of your qualifying period is going to be a problem, you need to demonstrate what was the exceptional reason for why you arrived so late in the first place.
Even under previous rules, any period beyond 90 days between your visa being issued and entry date was NOT counted towards your continuous period for ILR.

Dear babaj,
From 26 March 2013 to 18 Jan 2016, how many days did you stay in the UK and spend outside the UK.

Thanks

Babaj,

The preparation for extension/ILR is a huge amount of work and receiving a lot of original documents from many entities (banks, accountants) my Extension was over 1000 pages ( I agree crazy) so if you are not in advanced preparations get your act together you have 9 days...

You need min of (3 years minus 28 days ) and only up to 180 days absence in each year since the date your visa was issued. The time spent outside UK before coming to the UK will count towards the 180 days absence.
