Hi!

Anyone has any idea if any rules are changing for continuous absence period in UK in April 2013? No I dont forsee any changes in April as with these things they will have to be proposed first and then implemented. also given the whole sale changes in dec i doubt if there will be anymore changes til...

However I do worry about their whole website when the appointments are released. The UKBA can't seem to handle just the booking side of things, let alone that + payment. :? Agree. Submitting payment details on the flaky booking system they currently have, is not something I would look forward to! T...

This is the response I got from ukba.....

No Evidence is required for absences if you are on tier 1 unless the reasons was compassionate or serious. No need for evidence if it was just holidays within the limits specified.

There is no absence restriction for dependants. She is perfectly fine as long as you have the cohab docs.

It shld be up at tomorrow mid night

She is eligible as she first entered in 2008 and hence the cohab period can be calculated since 2008. There is no absence criteria for dependants.

i always thought ilr could be applied 28th day before the visa expiry date You could be right singhilr. However, consider the scenario that you are wrong? You go to the PEO and they tell you your application cannot be processed as you still don't qualify. Then you might need to send it by post as g...
