ILR continuous period calculation

[itontips]

Hello everyone,

I got visa on 30th April 2010. And I came to UK on 26th June. I worked for two months and went back to India for my marriage from 1st Dec, 2010 and returned on 6th Feb, 2011

1) Did I break continuity period here. I believe not because, I didn't exceed the 180 days. Please confirm.

2) I applied for extension in April 2013 and they processed my application so quickly and extended from 23rd April 2013 - 23rd April 2015. My original dates were starting from 30th. Here I am shortage of 7 days. What should I do? Am I eligible for 5 years period if I apply on 22nd April 2015.

Thanks,
Gurpreet Malhi

You should be fine, Were you employed from 1 st Dec till feb while you were away. You need to provide evidences of paid leave

Thanks for the quick response

No. I was not employed during that time. I started job in march 2011

Argus,

Do I have to provide evidence in that case as well ?

If you were not employed and not away for 180 days in that yr, you have not broken any residency period. Show proofs of yur visit to India as Marriage reasons in a cover sheet clearly explaining your case.
