(Sunday) Kindly guide for ILR ! 1: In this situation can one apply at PEO on 1st June 2014 -within 28 days before completing qualifying period of 5 years i...

The situation of firend is that ILR is due in May 2014 but income requirement can not be met as after extension he could not work properly due to continued illness of son. One of the option being considered was to apply ILR with lesser income and on refusal to file appeal on human rights grounds. An...

If new Form was introduced on 22 Dec 2012 than old form is valid up to 12 Jan 2013 and not merely upto 03 Jan

As per another post the new AN Form was introduced on 22 Dec 2012 and not on 13 Dec. If so than old form is valid for 21 days as provided under Immigration Rule 34i i.e up to 12 Jan.2013.

With due respect I dont think "almost 800" and "800 plus" means the same thing. There were private absences as well and case worker had calculated total absences at 866. Both these instances prove that there is no upper limit of job/business related absences and it is the quality...

A family friend was yesterday granted ILR at PEO Cryodon with 804 days business related absences with none exceeding 90 days at a time. He is self employed under HSMP pre- November 2006 scheme.
It may the first instance on this board of 800 plus days disregarded at PEO.

I have understood that in first 2 years absences were around 670 days (730-60) and in next three years these were around 80 days. Hence total at the time of ILR was around 750 days (670+80) with 4 absences of more than 90 days at a time (as mentioned in solicitor letter) Which reduced to 447 days at...

You got ILR at Glasgow PEO way back on 4 April 2010 and extent of your absences is good precedent of exercise of discretion wroth highlighting. Though not expreseely stated in your post yet it appears that your absences were around 760 days and 4 times these were above 3 month at a time. Please conf...

Send documents to PEO attended.

UKBA has acted smartly in their interest. They have issued you formal refusal very promptly (within a week) before expiry of your visa on 15 Dec.2011 so that you do not get right of appeal and they get additional fees. Normally refusal of case dealt at PEO is received after 4 weeks. There is no unif...

During pendency of your ILR application one can apply for extension and fee paid towards ILR would be treated towards extension. If one applies for extension after refusal of ILR than one would have to pay fee for extension. One may seek as many extensions as one may want. Better for you to wait for...

I have edited my post to make it more clear.
Yes you would have to wait 10 -16 weeks from date of sending postal application. You would not be compensated by out of turn processing -due to PEO episode - unless you agitate strongly.

"mrproblem" has reported the problem at PEO after a month. Now he would have wait for 10-16 weeks as it is postal application or he can send a notice for JR on that problem of his file being open and PEO processing was not possible. Merely on pre action notice of JR your postal application...

It means that you people applied at PEO in June 2011 however decision was not made and after 5 months your case has been rejected with right of appeal.

If conviction stood spent than you must file appeal.

Hi Cheerful2011

In your post of 3 Nov you had sought advice about your "foreign assignment for 179 days straight" and in your success story of 16 Nov there is no mention whatsoever of absencces issue.

Even if this was no issue at PEO you should have mentioned that.

Both are unusual instances of PEO working.
But it appers to better concept than refering the case to verification team which would take at least 10 weeks.
Whereas this procedure must be fast track in line with higher fee charged.
Both instances are of same PEO ?

Any news ?
You were going to PEO on 10 th Nov

I have read the sentence and I guess the 2nd entry date is required i.e. 10/12/2006.

Still " I guess" is manifestation of pressure of ILR goalpost further evident from next query about just 66 absences over period of 5 years.
Please relax and enjoy the weekend.

Hi sushdmehta my son was actually 18 when he got the initial EC . The ECO was aware that he was 18 but told us that he had discussed with his Manager and they had decided to give him EC as an HSMP dependent. This was pre Nov 2006. It would be first such case of over 18 years dependent child given e...

There was one person next to me who used to travel 5 times in the month and even he got the ILR.

There is no upper limit of job related absences. Frequent short absences rather adds to credibility.

Many thanks for the guidance and advise on various points so far. I have been considering to take a PEO appointment for ILR under JR, but one thing has caught my attention: I have a over 18 dependent (son) for whom I am completing the separate Set O form, and will be paying the fee for him, When we...
