What visa category?

You might want to just wait a bit for responses instead of pressing for a response within half an hour of original post, it is a Friday and people have other work or family commitments.

Sorry,
Tier 1 visa

Date of initial entry?

Date of re-entry after the 150 days?

Visa valid from what date?

Visa expiry date?

[Go12]

Tier 1 visa valid from 15th oct 2010 and valid till 15th oct 2015.
I entered UK on 16th oct 2010 till 5th nov 2010 .re entered on 9th april 2011 till date.
The only time I was away from UK is from 6th nov 2010 to 9th April 2011 around 150 days .

Thanks

Don't worry, there is nothing we can do I am in the same boat, A self explained letter should be enough as we had no employment in the first year. We would def get a benefit of doubt as even if HO cross checks with HMRC there will be no record

The whole purpose of a T1 G visa was to come to the UK and look for a job. I personally don't think this will cause an issue during ILR in Oct 2015 as your absences are way within 180 days.

Good luck. Don't stress and worry about it!

Thanks again,
Every 6 months they keep amending rules.lets hope it all turns to be fine,as the extensions are also closed:(

I had to settle my family and sell my car ,attended exams which could help me to get a job in UK.

If you do a letter setting out these reasons and circumstances, it should be fine. Besides, the absence is still less than the allowable limit.

Thanks ,
So what would be the right date on which I can apply for my ILR?

[CR001]

No sooner than within 28 days before 15th October.
