I am on Tier-1 General visa came in 2010. So I guess unpaid leave should not cause any issues as Tier-1 General people need to be on employment or economically active on all 5 yrs? is that correct. Pls advise.
I have around 170 days of unpaid leave in a single visit out of UK but unpaid leave granted by the company and still being employed with the same company and can get letter reg the absence and not employed outside UK as this is for medical treatment. As I am eligible for ILR by july2105 I am wonderi...

I have already done 2 extensions and my visa is valid till DEC2016 so what I am looking for here is impact on my ILR (PR) application which will be Jan2015. I am looking if I can apply for ILR by Apr2015 then in that case I can spread this out of country days per calendar year in such a way that it ...
UKBALoverstory and all other guru's and members I am pulling this thread back because now I need to travel back to UK as I am already close to 160 days out of UK (25-Dec-2013 to 05-May-2014).

or just the photo copies? Pls advise urgently as I am planning to apply for dependants visa.
Yep thats my final conclusion now after reading lot of posts here. Tx again for confirming amber and thanks for the link. internet slow here hence downloaded will read it carefully.
amber after reading few other posts i got the below understanding pls correct me if i am wrong. My wife and my kids are in india now. I am not settled yet (My ILR is due in 2015). As my dependants (Wife & kids) current visa got expired they need to apply for Tier-1 general dependant visa in indi...

In that case the new rule for dependant application will apply?it would be great relief for me that there is no requirment fo...
Thats fine. She needs to meet 5yr rule for ILR but due to recent 2018 ILR closure.Will the dependants are allowed to extend their visa beyond 2018?My assumption is this ILR closure is only for main applicants? Now I am planning to extend my wife visa by applying next month. If so does she needs to m...

But did not apply for dependants extension now the visa got expired (in march 2014). So if i apply in india for dependants extension will it be considered as a fresh visa? ...
thanks for quick reply. You are right we will wait for experts and guru's of this forum to further comment and confirm this because in the addendum document in UKBA I didn't find any where saying it is applicable or not applicable for dependants. Guru's pls shed some light.
wondering if the extension is closed only for the main applicant or is it closed even for DEPENDANTS?
If so what about a babies who will be born in 2016?
Pls shed some light.
No more than 180 whole days absence are allowed in any of the five, four, three or two consecutive 12 month periods, depending on the category, preceding the date of the application for indefinite leave to remain (ILR). The specified continuous period is counted backwards from the date of the ILR ap...
Thanks again for all response. I have not taken the life in the UK test yet. Once I return to UK by june 2014 I have to complete 1 yr to prove the earning points for ILR so probably by end of 2015 I am planning to apply as I have done the extension (totally I have done 2 extensions) before I leave t...
