thanks .. on pg 17 it clarifies that there is no definitive rule for how long you have to stay out. going thru the document I found this (pg19) -- Visas are valid for an unlimited number of journeys within the validity period of the visa. People holding visit visas can only remain in the UK for a ma...

All those still listening to this thread,

I got my ILR approved last month without any further exension ... no issues or concerns ..

thanks all for your help !

Documents are exactly same as that of general visitor just the form is different I did 6 months then 2 years and now 5 years for my parents. As I mentioned, my parents have been into UK a several times, every time on a 6months visa.. never have over stayed or asked for extension... so do you reckon...

I am sure someone will correct me, if I am wrong. My understanding is, if the visa starts 1st May 2015. Between 01/05/2015 and 31/04/2016, the maximum no of days should be 180. This can be accumulated through multiple visits regardless of how big the gap is in between. I don't think this holds true...

Yea, I will definitely ask them to get their insurance sorted out before applying .. ..


also, when a long term visa is issued, how long should be the minimum gap between two visits ?
