Hi, (1) If you can get a medicle certificate that she is not well and going back home for her maternity because no one is here to look after her. then there will be no problem for her to getting ILR and time period will be included when she will apply for ILR. I know one case when one main applicant...

Yes in some cases applicants got thier ILR in same day with gaps , but continous gap in one go is a different thing. But its not a bad idea to take a chance. The best option is to call HO first and ask them before applying, it will save your time and money. I have seen few cases, where people have a...

Still not cleared about your gaps, any way if you was out for more than 6 months in one go, then you have to explain reason that why you was out for this period and if you was out for just holidays and no reason , so then it can be problem for you to get ILR. And if your gap was in first year at the...

hi, I don,t think so you can apply in person, if you have continous gaps more than 6 months, than you have to apply by post, if you will go in person they will ask you to apply by post, make sure you have a detailed covering letter to expalin whole matter when you will appply by post. thanks racingf...

please give some more details, visa catagory? gap dates? first entry ? etc etc.... When I very first came to the UK I didn't really think about ILR (Long Residence) and came and went as I pleased. I know that there is a rule that if you spend more than 6 months outside of the UK at any one time, you...

Hi tryingforpr, As per details you have given here, i don,t think so there will be any problem in your ILR, you need a letter from your employer that your stay outside UK was your job requirement and one more important thing is that you have to show your payslips that you was paid for that time whil...

Thanks Bechir, I really appreciate for your support, hope so it will be a positive outcome I am also thinking to go away on 19 Nov for 2 weeks, do you think so i can get my letter and manage my ceremony in this time, i mean before 19 nov. i said we will have good news this week and we did that is ve...

Update Hi guys, i called HO today and spoke to one gentleman, He told me that decision has been made on my application :? but the letter is not dispatch yet. I request him to tell me decision but he refused to tell me because of security reason. So hope so next week i will get some news from HO. It...

I applied on 3/09/09 and tommorrow will be exactly 2 months since i applied. so lets see in this week. thank you rancingfire , iam watching and refre...

Hi sra2009, As far as i know i have read on this forum that sometime they sent a letter before the documents, it really depends, might be you will receive both of them together. but i did not understand one thing , HO said to you that letter has been sent to you on friday , so why they said today th...

For passport applications i have check the average time on this forum, which is maximum 22 days and in average mo...

Hi Alina76, Thanks a lot for your support, i wish that same will happen to me and i will receive my reply very soon. But these bloody strikes making us more frustrated. Can you please tell me in detail that what she mentioned you about your application, did she tell you any status? i mean that some ...

Thanks Bechir, i hope so that i will get some result till next week, but you can understand the frustration. I think if you will apply your passport on 2nd nov,there will be 95% chances that you will get your passport before 24 nov, because i have realized from previous timelines on this forum, the ...

Update I was thinking not to call HO today but i was so frustrated, so i called HO today at 7:30 pm but same as usual NO JOY, the lady who answered the phone told me that my case is still there and case worker is waiting for some enquiries response. So that make me clear that at least next 2 weeks i...

Sidster, i am just little bit worried now to call HO , because i have already called them three times in last 3 weeks, to be honest i am in bit confusion to go for it or not. And after calling council today so i am sured that decision has not been made yet. so let see what will happen next week. But...

hi bechir, Congrats mate, such a good relief. Hope so u will get ur letter soon. Sidster its definitely a positive response coz straightforward cases always get approved in same time period, on my end i called council today to check if they have recieved anything but answer was NO. And that make me ...

No bechir so far nothing mate, its been now 55 days but i did not get any reply. Mostly applications approved in 45 days but i am not on those lucky one. And as sidster mentioned these bloody strikes will cause more delay.
