She explained that the maximum allowed is (235), but that (195) is the threshold they use in the same-day service. Ie- if you have (200) personal days out of country- it’s referred to the postal/normal method.

Many Thanks

The knowledge of the board comes from people's experiences. Further nothing is absolute because the case workers can use discretion and people have different circumstances and the rules change such as ILR being obtained after 5 years when it used to be 4. If you think there is only one answer you will be very dissappointed.
Taking from your info, I would go with the max allowed is 235 for 5 years. At one time it was 180, when ILR was obtainable after 4 years. It seems this aspect of the assessment has not been updated in written form in the guidance.
I would also accept that for PEO service, they will not assess an ILR application if you have 200 days and you have to mail it in instead. This is good info. Thanks for sharing.
As for individual cases, people may have been refused due to various reasons based on different amounts of absences. If you look at the guidance there are different standards depending on your ties to the UK so each case has to be evaluated based in that manner. Further if you have been out of the uK for 90 days straight your continuity of residence can be considered broken and you may not be eligible for ILR but work based absences can be disregarded.
Keep all these things in mind, pay attention to when their ILR was submitted, what were the basis of their absences and read the guidance for your peace of mind, then you might understand each case you cite better.

Where does the number 235 come from?? I can understand 225 (= 45 per year x 5 years) versus the old 180 (= 45 x 4), but 235 doesn't make sense.

We just got ILR issued today. And the caseworker clearly told us that the no. of days they calculate absences on is 225 days.
I have had many business trips over the last 5 years so the caseworker definitely made sure that I had less than 225 days!!

Hi all

Is there anyone with same information or similar experience.

[qordjr]

Isn't it 450 days for 5 years?
My solicitor has kept saying that as long as under 450 days...it will be fine...

Any idea?

All evidence (see links above) points to 225 days and an inept solicitor.

450 days, that's a year and a third abroad. Where do you get that kind of sollicitor?

[anjali_devi]

450 days is for naturalisation.

Hi all
One more case with 225 days absences allowed from uk .

Question:

Does days of absences allowed in the UK include annual paid leave and project secondment outside the UK ?

I have a UK WP and I plan to apply for ILR sometime this year.

However, I have been outside the UK for 800++ days. That includes both annual paid leave and project work outside the UK.

I can have my company provide the relevant documents to back-up claim.

Thanks

800+ days, that more than 2 years out of 5. Wow. You better build a good case, with employer letters justifying why you were working outside the UK, giving exact dates of each of your paid holidays, and UK bills/evidence of tax being paid in the UK.

Thanks for the reply.

When departing the UK, immigration do not stamp me out. But I do have EU arrival & departure stamps and upon arrival to the UK I have the UK stamps.

I assume I have to list the EU departure date stamps and UK arrival date stamps under the "Absences from the UK" in form SET (O) ?
