[quote="cs95tdg"]Please read the ILR FAQ sticky thread and updated continuous residence guidance before posting: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=79378 http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/modernised/cross-cut/ilr-calculating-continuous/ilr-c...

Thanks, that's what I thought too but it's always best to confirm.

If someone else can also confirm this, I'd be really grateful. Thanks!

Thanks longshift. I think i was miscalculating - i thought you couldn't exceed 180 days in FIVE years, instead of 180 days in a 12-month period. WHEW!

Ok, I'm a newbie and need all the help I can get! a) How is the 90 day period calculated? I exited the UK on 10 July 2010 and re-entered the UK on 9 October 2010. How many days' absence is this? I'm unable to determine which days to count towards absence. Does the day i LEAVE the UK count as an abse...

I'm applying for my Tier 1 extension in a couple of weeks and naturally I'm looking ahead to the ILR to make sure my absence from the UK does not exceed 180 days. I have two questions: a) If I exit the UK for another country on 11 Feb (for example) and I come back on 12 Feb, how many days absence is...

cs95tdg: thank you, that does clarify things for me. Can I ask one more question? If someone does have a shortfall, do they have to get an extension again for the period of the shortfall and THEN apply for ILR?

cs95tdg: Thanks for the info. I'm still confused though. If on 21 March 2013 I get a 2 year extension till 21 March 2015, wouldn't i still have a shortfall of 37 days or so as my first entry (though within 90 days) was on 17 June 2010? Wouldn't this affect my ILR application?

Thanks banilkum.

Can anyone else verify this please? I'd be grateful!

Thanks

I'm applying for an extension for my Tier 1 General visa. My visa is from 13 April 2010 - 13 April 2013. My first entry in the UK was on 17 June 2010. This means that I first came into the country 65 days after i received my visa. I have got an appointment for 21 March at Croydon PEO but i have been...

Thank you!

I think you're right, there is always that possibility. But I think I'll let it be for now. By the way, what's an SAR (out of curiosity)?

[quote="cs95tdg"]Yes, they should. Though I am aware of some cases where they have made mistakes. So it's always better, if you have/keep a record of the date you make an application, in the event you need to prove it at a later date.[/quote] Unfortunately I don't. I didn't get a letter fr...

Thanks manka. And I assume the UKBA has a record of when the initial application was made?

Hi, I'm new to this board and have a query regarding the Tier 1 General visa. I tried calling the UKBA to ask this question but they seem a bit...shall we say...clueless! My initial application was made (from outside the UK) on 24 March 2010. I got a 3 year Tier 1 General visa. My visa is valid from...
