Congrats mate. Can you kindly tell me the exact dates where you were out of uk. I am mainly interested in anything from Jan 2009 to June 2011. It will really help me in making my decision of ilr illegibility. My case is explained here. In summary I was away for almost 270 days in a single stretch and if i split this (150+120), I will be away for almost 150 days at the start of my 1st year.sri5823 wrote:Got my ILR on Friday with no face to face interview. Everything was done in an hour an half or so while I had my coffee. Hope this helps someone who has worked outside UK in Europe and returned but still complied with the 180-day rule.
To be honest one of the lawyers refused to take up my case as he said I had more leaves outside UK and was actually working there. But i still decided to apply as I complied with the 180-day rule. I could only produce a letter from my current company about the number of leaves paid annual leaves. My previous employer gave me a letter that I worked there but did not want to mention the paid leaves and asked me to use the original contract. I didn't have the contract either.
Then the company I worked for in Europe didn't give me any letter either. So I mentioned only in the covering letter that I worked in Europe. I think the 180-day rule is most important and provided you comply with all other things you should be able to get the ILR easily.
Thanks
