Application unsuccessful on the basis that time spent on awaiting decision of extension application and appeal (12 months) is breach of qualifying resident period. I m 100% sure they are covered under s.3c if applied in time. How can this period is qualifying residency for ILR (10 yr long residency...

Reason for my refusal was that i was out of the country for 191 days (5 year period) instead of 180. I had sent proofs i.e. Medical certificates and marriage certificate for the delays. Caseworker did not consider them and refused the visa but the judge did in the hearing and the appeal was allowed.
