There are no such guidelines. Qualifying period starts from visa issue date1. Though I entered UK on 20/1/2015, I started working only from 20/4/2015 as it took time to find a job here. So, should I wait till 28 days before 20/4/2020 to apply for ILR or am I eligible to apply now by the 5 year stay rule from 20/1/2015(minus 28days). I saw somewhere in the guidelines that I should be paying taxes for 5 years to apply for ILR. I have been paying from 20/4/2015.
The details of your trips are irrelevant2. To fill the absence from UK, should I enter all the details of the countries that I transit due to airline stop-overs. In some instances I took local visa for a a day to visit as the connection was long.
You simply need the letter3. As my job is flexible to work remotely, I was outside of UK for more than 25 days in a year (well in excess of my paid holiday). In some years it was upto 70-80 days though it was never close to 180 day limit. I visited 2-3 times in a year to India for 30-40 day each. But I was paid in UK during this time and was working from India partly and partly on vacation. Will this be an issue and should I need any letter from the employer.
Those questions are unimportant. Provide minimal information4. There is a question in the form "Additional countries you have lived in". Before coming to UK in Jan 2015, I have lived-in/travelled several countries around the world visiting India back and forth several times. I also lived in UK before for 2 years. Should I enter every country entry/exit for my whole life? It's almost impossible to track every date/place of travel.
I suggest to enter your current address5. How important is it give House/Communication address in the form. Can we give a friend's home address as our living address for safely receiving the documents as I am currently in a shared accommodation.
You need only your last payslip. READ THE GUIDE6. Should I be submitting all my payslips and bank statements of 5 years or last 1 year or nothing like this is needed.
READ THE GUIDE7. Lastly, please advise the documents/letters should I submit for all the above points.
You need a letter from employer to say your absences from work were approved by them. Read the guideDoes this mean letter of employment from employer and in/out dates filled in the online form?
It is unimportant. Select NODoes that mean I don't have to provide all countries travels and select NO online. It asks for exact FROM/TO dates if I select YES radio button.
That is not asking about who is filling/paying for the application. They are asking for their details of your Tier 2 sponsor which your ILR is based onAs I am filing the ILR by myself and my employer wont be sponsoring this application, I am confused.
The people who handled your visa application know about this. A Tier 2 visa requires a COSukindian23 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 10:00 amThanks again. I wasn't given any CoS. I shall connect with HR as well as re-read the guide thoroughly you shared above.

You need to get a NARIC letter for visa and immigration (known as the red route). This allows you to use a degree taught in English as proof of your English language for your ILR. This is only for degrees obtained outside the UK.Should I still submit one of these two certificates? If so, which one to submit.
Yes2. Evidence of immigration status in the UK
Question: Does the BRP card suffice or anything else.
No it won't delay it3. Declaration signed by me to confirm consent for the Home Office to request verification checks
Question: Any thoughts if these are done. Won't it delay the approval even if we go for super premium service.
It is your BRP5. Current Biometric Residence Permit
Question: Is it not same as Question #2 above. If not, what else should I submit for #2.
Letter from all your past employers (if possible). If the absences were below 30 days per residence year, you may ignore it6. Letter(s) from employer(s) detailing reasons for work-related absences including periods of paid annual leave from the UK and Crown Dependencies.
Question: Should I request the letter only for Tier 2 period or for first 3 years of Tier 1 period as well. In the guide it says -
284. You must also provide:
• A letter from your Sponsor on company headed paper, confirming the start and end
date of each such period of absence and the reason for it;
Up to you1. How important is to give the current living address. As I mentioned, I recently moved into a shared accommodation and not comfortable to share for all important ILR application. Also, I have my friend's address for my Tier 2 General and all communication including my Driving Licence, Car Insurance etc. I recently moved from there.
This is not important as I said. Provide minimal information2. Under Immigration details of the application form
It is mentioned -
Have you previously lived in a country outside the UK including your country of birth?
If I say NO, is it not considered as false information because I am not informing my stay in India and other countries that I lived. Importantly, I travelled and lived in UK as well before this 5 years period several times.
Is it mandatory to get a NARIC letter now? Even if my degree was certified earlier through UK BA database earlier for Tier 1 (which was done in 2010 and I submitted a letter from University that it was taught in English?You need to get a NARIC letter for visa and immigration (known as the red route). This allows you to use a degree taught in English as proof of your English language for your ILR. This is only for degrees obtained outside the UK.
I only have one employer. But my stay was 3 years of Tier1 and 2 years of Tier 2. Should I get letters for all 5 years or just 2 years of Tier 2. Most of my absences are above 30 days but within 180 in a 12 month period.Letter from all your past employers (if possible). If the absences were below 30 days per residence year, you may ignore it
Sounds like it's better to give my current address. I will do that though I just moved in. Is there a chance of asking Tenancy Agreement.1. How important is to give the current living address.
Zimba:- Up to you
The may ask you to provide NARIC. If worried, why not get NARIC now and remove the risk ?! Alternatively you can sit SELT as advised aboveukindian23 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 11:22 amThanks for the clarification.
As I asked towards the end, please advise what will happen in the worst case scenario if they think I need to submit a NARIC. Will they raise a query or raise a request to submit NARIC or refuse ILR and should I re-apply with the NARIC freshly by paying the fees again.
Thanks & Regards
