Your visa remains valid.so my question is, do my visa will be invalid if I overstays outside UK for continuous 6 months period in a year with this pandemic situation?
If you have an absence of more than 180 days, then you will not be eligible for ILR. There has been no relaxation of this absence limit rule for ILR.Also will i be ineligible for ILR in year 2022?
I am sure that if Ebola counted as an international economic / humanitarian crisis, the same will hold for COVID-19.On 11 January 2018 the Immigration Rules were amended to discount any absences
from the UK from counting towards the 180 day limit, where the absence was due to
the applicant assisting with a national or international economic or humanitarian
crisis, such as the Ebola crisis which began in West Africa in 2014.
This covers all Tier 1, Tier 2 and Appendix W applicants. ILR applicants should
provide evidence from their sponsor (if applicable), employer or similar organisation
to confirm that the absence was related to a crisis.
The piece you quote clearly states 'if the applicant was ASSISTING with......' through the employer or similar organisations, which is not the same as being in home country absence to visit relatives!! A tier 2 dependent also is not a employer sponsored migrant.ryno wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 9:41 amHey KSrocks,
I do not agree with CR001 on this.
See page 13 on this document on calculating continuous leave: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... gov-uk.pdf
