DLR

[starz11]

Ok that’s good to know.

Thanks mate I appreciate all your help.

[starz11]

Does the 180 days absence applies to DLR for ILR application?

Please advice

[zimba]

Yes

[starz11]

so does that mean it will affect my application because since my first DLR to date I have travelled in total for 380 days?

[CR001]

It is not 180 in total. In is any period of 180 in any rolling 12 month period.

[starz11]

Thanks CR001 for your reply.

Could you please explain what a rolling 12months means as my understanding to that term is January to December or for example May 2017 to May 2018. Am sorry if it sounds dump but I have already paid £3074 for my appointment for the 16 of July and I am very very worried. And also please can I send you all the travels I have made so far so you could help me do the calculation just to put my mind at ease.

[CR001]

ANY 12 month rolling period, not calendar year and not 'May to May' for example. It can be any 12 month period.

Post your travel history if you want advice then.

Please advice cos I think I way exceed the 180 days absence.

[CR001]

You need to add how many days you were away for each trip. It is unreasonable to expect us to do it for you.

[CR001]

You need to add how many days you were away for each trip. It is unreasonable to expect us to do it for you.

And write the total days next to each trip. I certainly don't have the time to do all these calculations for you. You need to give complete information.

In which 12 month rolling period do you believe you have exceeded 180 days???

[starz11]

Am not sure mate thats why I would like you to please have a look and help me out.

Sorry for the stress but I really need your help.

[CR001]

It is not a difficult calculation. Just glancing at it, you don't appear to have exceeding 180 days in any 12 month period.

Again, it is NOT 180 days in total in the whole 6 years.

[starz11]

Ok thats a big relief. Is it calculated from that very year or the year before? I guess the term rolling is whats am confused about. my Maths is very bad. lol

[CR001]

Rolling means ANY continuous 12 month rolling period.

Not this year or that year or from this month to that month.

[starz11]

Ok thanks a lot mate you have made my day and my mind is very very much at ease now. I'll go head and complete my form and let you know the outcome of my application.

Thanks a lot.

[starz11]

Hi Cr001,

Can you please explain this section of the form to me.

7.5 Have you or any dependants applying with you had any UK court judgment against you for
non-payment of a debt, or received a civil penalty under UK Immigration Acts?

In May 2015 even though I didn't have to appear in court, I had a court fine of £415 and 6points on my licence of which I paid the fine, but am not sure where to fill it in as the question is a bit confusing to me.

Is that a ivil penalty under UK Immigration Acts? and should I declare it?

[starz11]

Hi everyone,

I want to say a massive thank you to Zimba88 and CR001 for their massive support and to everyone who has posted on this forum.

I just return from croyden premium service centre about an hour ago and am glad to say I have been granted my ILR. What a massive relief.

Even with my criminal record and a few traffic offences, the outcome was a success. I am now preparing to apply to naturalise.

Appointment was : 8:45
Called later to submit my documents at 9:30
called back for collection at 12:30.
Should anyone need any advice please let me know and I will happily share any info needed.

[Lizkim]

Congratulations!! I have travelled a lot as well. Did you list all the travels you have done for the 6 years of dlr? Hope it will be fine for me. Also what documents did you submit. Thanks

[starz11]

Yes I listed all my travels and I was lucky not to have exceed the 180days in any 12months rolling period. You have to list all your travels as they will definitely find out from the stamps on your passport.

The documents submitted:
Marriage certificate
6months bank statements
2months payslips
6years council tax bills
Life in uk test certificate but not english language test as I didn't have time to do the test.
Kids/wife's British passports
Covering letter explaining my criminal record
Wife's supporting letter.
DBS check result.
I have more than a few traffic offence but I only declared the one court fine I had.
I submitted some photographs of my family and I but it was given back to me by the man checking my documents as they are not relevant apparently.

In all it was a straight forward process just the waiting and not knowing what the decision would be was the problem but thank God it was a success.

I hope this helps.
