Hi i m on tier-2 visa and completed my 10-year in Dec-2015 but with a gap of 10-months as i was in Pakistan from March-06 to Jan-07 due to my mother illness. When i came back uk in Feb-07 i write a letter to case worker and explain the situation about my mother illness and the case worker granted my tier-4 extension on my circumstances in Feb-07 so My question is that can i apply ILR now? if they refused my application will they give me right of appeal in country? Plz all senior member need your advise on this issue.

Thanks.

Hi there

when did u arrive in the country?

try splitting years from date of entry if it falls in 2 different years u ll be alright. and each is less than 180 days u should be ok.

for example
year 1 date u arrived 01042014 31032015
if the time period falls in 2 different years and time off is less than 180 days u should be fine.

Long residency absence rules are different: no more than 540 days out in the previous 10 years and no more than 180 days in a row.

OP - can you extend your Tier 2 to meet the Tier 2 requirements? Or perhaps you can extend until the 10 month absence is not in the 10 years before your application date? I honestly doubt they will grant discretion as they are trying to get rid of people (ie make them move out of the UK). 10 months absence might show intent to sever ties with the UK...

For ILR based on 10 years long residence you cannot 'split the absence over two years'. It does not work like that for long residence. A single absence of 180 days or more is a break in continuous residence.

@physicskate - the OP is on Tier 4 not Tier 2.

Hi i m on tier-2 visa

Thanks.

Are we sure?? I haven't checked any of their other threads, but if they are on Tier 4, this is misleading. (and probably one of the reasons I post a lot less now!!).

I'm just as confused. The OP writes "i m on tier-2 visa" and follows it with "and the case worker granted my tier-4 extension" It took a few re-reads before I worked it out. Need more coffee!
