Are you sure you weren't stamped in on entry as a visitorDonakey111 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 22, 2018 1:09 pmI entered with my ilr in 2016 with no issues at all.
Now i'm looking for a job but i'm afraid of applying for a brp because i don't want the ilr to be revoked.
If it had lapsed, i shouldnt have been allowed in
What's a normal entry stamp?
ILR vignette is unfortunately no longer sufficient. The requirement to change to a brp card came into effect a couple of years ago.
If ILR vignette is in a valid passport, BRP is not necessary.
Then you have no option but to apply for a BRP card and HO will likely expect to see evidence of UK residence for the last few years.
Hi Donakey, I am in same Situation like you! Have you got your BRP? I am worry they revoke my ILE, then I have to leave my family here. Please update .Donakey111 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 22, 2018 10:21 amHi guys, entered the UK after 4 years of absence with no issues at all. Been back for over 2 years now but due to the new rules, i have to apply for a brp for work and not really sure of what to do because of the 2 years ilr lapse rule. What can i do??
Please update me once you have that information.cheerDonakey111 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 03, 2019 7:41 pmWas trying to get more information from someone else who'd successfully gotten a brp. Still hoping though
It seems you and Donakey111 are not in the exact same situation if you have been visiting UK every year, which means you haven't been absent for over two years in one stretch. However, as you point out, if your visits are short and you have not maintained ties to the UK, it is possible for your ILE to be revoked. A few years ago I was also away helping a sick parent for almost two years. When I returned I was never questioned about my absence. As there is no "departure" stamp in passports when leaving UK it is difficult for UKVI officers to pick up on this. The acid test comes when you approach UKVI for something like a BRP or citizenship and they ask for evidence of your residence, addresses, etc in UK.
Hi Donakey111, me again:) I tried to find threads here that people have similar issues like us but got BRP successfully, but the threads I found was no one updated their BRP application outcome. If you have saw the threads that they managed to get a brp, coukd you share the links for me ?Donakey111 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 22, 2018 5:16 pmI didn't but i've been back since '16 and my ilr is in an expired passport.Read a couple of threads here about people with similar issues who managed to get a brp. Not sure of what steps they took.
