Not so much of what you believe but what records HO has and what you have proof of.
Well, of course, but surely if my status was changed they should somehow notify me? (Boarder guard should mention it, send me a letter etc.)

Re: ILR - Card about to expire

Thank you for your answer. I am a little unsure, I appologise: BRP Renewals (which will only be valid till 31st December 2024 as they are being phased out) can take up to 6 months. It is the card that is renewed if you have maintained ILR status. I believe that I have maintained the ILR status, in t...

ILR - Card about to expire

Dear all, I have the following (hopefully small) question. It would be very much appreciated if someone knew how to proceed: Our (family) situation: Me and my family have Indefinite leave to remain. We had it for nearly 10 years now. As such, the cards are about to expire in about 6 months. My indiv...

Re: Will I loose my ILR visa if I work abroad for 3 years?

I think you may be shooting yourself in the foot , if you apply for a work permit to another country before you are granted British citizenship. Your ILR may be at risk and you may fail the future intentions requirements for British citizenship. Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking too, that's an ...

Re: Will I loose my ILR visa if I work abroad for 3 years?

Well, first of all let me thank you for you indepth answer, it is much appreciated. Indeed it was a surprise to me that things are not so ... precise ... here. While I understand the benefits of this system when it comes to actual court cases, where a jury is assembled, I am a bit surprised about th...

Re: Will I loose my ILR visa if I work abroad for 3 years?

Surely you wouldn't need to apply for an extension/work permit as you already have ILR don't you? I don't need a work permit in the UK ( I have one here due to the ILR), but in the country I want to work. I wanted to know if I can apply for a work permit in Germany and at around the same time for a...

Re: Will I loose my ILR visa if I work abroad for 3 years?

While you may consider riz1986's grammar risible (sorry for the pun, but I could not resist), there is a kernel of truth in his advice. You may be significantly better off applying for citizenship and then heading abroad. Citizenship is much harder to revoke and has international consequences, whil...

Even for 2 years?
I was given to understand that 2 years was still considered ok.

Re: Will I loose my ILR visa if I work abroad for 3 years?

Hmm.. well I am not sure about this. But, I do think that you need to have your passport etc to get a visa in Germany and then live there. I am actually not sure about these things, I am very ignorant about how these things work, so I might be wrong. But it seems very unrealistic that I can hand in ...

Re: Will I loose my ILR visa if I work abroad for 3 years?

Well noone told me that, but when I applied for the ILR at took 8+ months, and yes the history was very straight forward. (Btw. they said it would last 2 months too :)). I dont mind that btw, I think that a country should me sure before making such a decision, but you understand that if a job starts...

Thanks both for your replies and advice. I am still not 100% sure what I will do, (its not like I even have teh job yet :) ) but I at least have a general idead of my options. I will most likely see a solicitor anyways to make sure I dont forget something important. I also think it is possible to on...

Re: Will I loose my ILR visa if I work abroad for 3 years?

Well currently time, since the application will most likely take at least 8 months and applying for a visa in a different country while applying for a visa in the Uk seems like a tad bit hard. When yuo say that staying abroad for longer then 2 years will render an ILR invalid, what do you mean by &q...

Will I loose my ILR visa if I work abroad for 3 years?

I currently have an ILR in the UK, which I got about 2 years ago. I am currently finishing my PhD and I wanted to know if working as a Postdoc for 3 years abroad can/will cause me to loose my visa. The thing is that as a Postdoc, one usually has enough "free time" to be able to live in the...
