Congratulations Niteshj. Thank you for sharing your experience at Solihull PEO. My question is same as ITGraduate's re absences >225. It would be helpful if you share some more information about this, specially did the person who checked your application for validity, did he/she comment on this? Mo...

I was approved today with almost 225 days
at Solihull PEO

see http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=102540


if you have any further questions in this matter from me then please post on that topic as I might not be checking this topic again

I am happy to say that today I was approved for ILR I made it a point to ask the caseworker about travelling abroad while waiting for BIO (yes the ILR approval letter that they give you at the PEO does ADVISE you not to travel until you have the biometric card). She said that if you had to travel o'...

First the facts: HSMP given from: 29/04/2007 Entered UK on: 06/06/2007 Tier-1 extension granted: 7/04/2009 Tier-1 extension expiry: 06/06/2012 (when applying for extension I requested to give me extension for 3 yrs and 2 months to make-up for the gap- no problems) ILR appointment: 09/05/2012 @10am a...

DEFINITELY get letters from the employer...

congratulations!
very detailed organisation - I will definitely refer to it in the future when I apply

officially I would say the answer is - you will be fine! search for posts made by me where I have analysed several people that got ILR even after LONG LONG time away (for work and annual leave) in practice I think you might be making things hard for yourself. Unfortunately, I think the 180 day rule ...

Hi All, I hope can someone suggest me with my ILR application. I am due for ILR in May 2012 and was on (HSMP+Tier1) 2+3 years. Out of UK for 270 days in last 5 years. All vacations ( no business trips) Contracting job for last 5 years with different employers. But I had my paid leave in contracting...

Thanks NiteshJ for your indepth analysis regarding this. I too have a friend who isnt part of this forum but had his ILR granted successfully with more than 225 days 2 months ago. was it granted in Solihull or Croydon? re: what needs to be done .. matter of getting a letter from your employer justi...

Yes that is what i'm hoping too. Especially with all this IT PROBLEMS in Croydon. More reason to go s'hill

I would agree with nn10 . I have seen on this forum that people with over 180 absences were told at Solihull to apply by post. Some of them went to Croydon and got approval for their ILRs. I have read on here that people with upto 225 days away have been granted ILR at Solihull. That is why I am as...

Hi, I am looking for responses from individuals who have gone to solihull and applied with having absences greater than 180 days. I have chosen Solihull because I have heard they only charge upon successful ILR application (and because they were the ones that had available appointment on day I wante...

How much assurance do you want? Case worker already gave you assurance, the moderator on here gave you assurance, and if you read the ilr guidance then you can see it in black and white. For others for future reference, when you apply for tier-1 extension then you can request for a slightly longer e...

Please use the search engine. This has been discussed too many times No you DON'T count the days you left and came back. I'm no expert but 210 days is not a big deal if you have the paperwork to prove the type of trips they were .. E.g letter from employer if they were during annual leave or for work

Ok .. So just to be 100% sure..

This means that we can take a holiday of more than 3 months at a time? (unlike ILR application that does not allow overseas trips of more than 3 months at a time)

Hi, I will hopefully be getting ILR (via 5 years on HSMP + Tier-1; I am not married) in a month so just planning ahead for my citizenship. Some questions: * are we allowed to travel for long periods like say 6 months overseas (continuous) and then come back to UK for another 9 months and apply for c...

your tier 1 will no longer be active once you have been granted ILR The letter you get when you are granted ILR advises you not to travel until you have recieved your BRP. If you have ILR you should not be entering the UK as a visitor - which is what you are suggesting you would do. It is unwise to...

Biometric is an evidence that you are now settled in the UK. you can easily get exit out of UK without BRP but on your way back, immigration will ask you for an evidence of your permission to stay in the UK and what will you show in that case? So in my opinion it is good to wait rather get into sor...

Hi, I have a OZ passport so I am allowed to travel quite freely in and out of most countries. I am on Tier-1 for 5 yrs (less one month) and will be applying for ILR in 3 weeks. I have travel plans immediately the day after my ILR appointment. My Tier-1 expires end of may. Is it an official rule that...

Hi, The situation - a person (Australian citizen) came to UK 5 years ago on HSMP and then moved to Tier-1 and then subsequently got ILR. All while living in UK. Now they want to go for citizenship when they are eligible. The criterias I want to discuss are: * you have to be restriction free for 12 m...

congragts! I have the same question - how much did it cost? and name (maybe PM me the name) I am thinking of going through solicitor if it can be done for £300 - my application is very straightforward except for the 220days I have spent overseas (always on business travel and/or annual leave). But I...

exactly what I was looking for
but it take 40 days to process! lucky I have 60-70 days

thanks once again

You can email Irisinfo@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk for this request. Please provide your Passenger ID - this appears on the Registration Report that you received on enrolment, your full name as it appeared in your passport at the time of enrolment or re-enrolment, your date of birth and your nationality ...

congrats RPB!

In Australia there is a concept of 'movement record' that you can request from immigration department (at a cost) - this lists all your trips out of Australia (over the last 30 years or less if you want). As I use IRIS quite often and also some stamps are faded on my passport .. I want to apply for ...
