Hi ILRquery congrats for ur ILR. I am in the same boat as u were in, i was on maternity leave n out of country for 6 months with paid leave(HSMP). Applied for ILR last aug same day service but was refused(long absences) and sent my passports and other documents in 30 days time. I didnt supply any m...

Thank you. . . .

now, it's time to move on . . . .

Just received today the decision from Home Office. We are delighted to receive the pack and our applications were APPROVED.......

http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=47206 as posted in this earlier post. i have been also looking all around to get a definitive answer. my wife has been not well at all and we have been in hospital to get her rehydrated all the time and i am struggling to cope with my work. as mentio...

we are on the same boat, until I received the decisions from UKBA, it will still remain under the interpretation of the case officer. In our case, it's still a waiting game, though I knew from colleagues and friends who have been granted ILR status, even though they were out of UK for more than 6 mo...

I did show the medical certificate from my country and it was written in English, but I guess, that's wha...

just got from HO today and here's the result... the officer told me that I don't qualify and handed me a letter telling that the application is valid and yet a team will review the application, she then mentioned that for this, we will keep all of our passports (including dependents) and other neces...

thanks, that's the dilemma I have now, although I am aware (through my friends who have similar case) that this is down to the settlement officer. In my friend's case, she was out of UK for 7 months and when she applied for her ILR, she was told to wait for another 7 months to make up for the 7 mont...

The following are the details. I entered UK as a work permit holder on Nov 2002, on April 2007 I got pregnant and on September 2007 I left UK to deliver my baby, whilst in my country, I have complications on my pregnancy and instead of coming back earlier, I came back to UK on April 2008.
