ILR APPLICATION - Approved (Update)

[CR001]

PBS Calculator will no longer be accepted from 6th April.

You will need to do an English test then.

[mjcr28]

Thanks CR001

i was not aware of this requirement, Very much appreciated.

so i will now have to give b1 exam and a life in the uk test (7 days before application)

thanks once again

[CR001]

LIUK at least 7 days before as it takes a few days to upload onto HO system.

Think it is almost the same with English test. You must do an English test with a provider that is on the HO approved list. Any other tests (many advertised) are not accepted and neither is ESOL.

Thanks Cr001 much appreciated

Can somebody help me here

I am due to apply for my ILR in April 2016 - through T2 5 year route

how do I state my absences , as i was out of UK 3 times in 5 years and a total of (6+6+18 = 30) Also 98 days (ukba backdated my visa date visa stamp date is February but passport given to me in April 2011 so travelled on 12th May 2011)

so to be safe I am counting 98 + 30 = 128 days in total for 5 years

my question is i get 23 days annual leave a year, so do i have to state all my annual leave or only annual leaves spent outside the uk. my holiday in may 2014 was from 10.05.2015 to 15.05.2014 how do i actually state that its the same holiday (i have mentioned it as a breakdown below)

IE:
12.05.2012 - 12.05.2011 (98 days)
12.05.2013 - 12.05.2012 (0)
12.05.2014 - 12.05.2013 (0)
12.05.2015 - 12.05.2014 (6 +2)
12.05.2016 - 12.05.2015 ( 4+18)

Answers much appreciated

Anyone??

[secret.simon]

do i have to state all my annual leave or only annual leaves spent outside the uk.

Only and all absences from the UK, whether on annual leave or not.

Annual leave spent in the UK is irrelevant for UKV&I applications.

[mjcr28]

Thanks Simon Much Appreciated. One more do i have to state the 98 days as

Visa stamp date is 03.02.2011
passport with visa given to me in 01.05.2011
entered uk 12.05.2011

so what do i need to mention for this absence

Last few questions i am due to apply shortly

Thanks for your response in advance

1) Set (O) form – point 7.13 How long you have lived in the UK – Should I put only my stay under tier 2 here which would be 5years around the time I will apply. This means I am not counting my previous stays in the uk under diffeent visas since feb 2006.

2) Also 7.14 Please state what ties you have with 1) The country where you were born 2) Any other country whose nationality you hold 3) Any country where you have lived for more then 5 yrs You should tell us about any family , freinds or other connections with that country COUNTRY SOCIAL CULTURAL OR FAMILY TIES
what to answer here in the above country & social cultural or family ties column ?
As my family live here and are British citizens for many years. Also i have only general friends ?

Lastly rent a shared accomodation, and pay cash to my friend, do i need any letter etc ?? as there is a question in regards to rent.

Thanks to All gurus and members once again.
