Dear Admins,
First of all apologies for creating a separate thread. I got lot of clarity from on my previous post:
indefinite-leave-to-remain/qualifying-p ... 62-25.html but I am close to applying and trying to not to make any mistakes.
My UK Entry Clearance Visa (Valid from): 07/11/16
Category: Tier 2 General
So I will be eligible to apply for ILR on 10/10/2021 (entry clearance date - 28 days). Now if I take super priority option and take my biometrics appointment let us say on 15th October (if I get it) then my date of decision will be before 07/11/2021, which is before my actual 5 year anniversary. So will it cause any problems?
I noticed a question today about this situation where the application was put on hold:
indefinite-leave-to-remain/ilr-applicat ... 21642.html
1. Just trying to understand when the case worker is deciding on the application - can they give ILR before the qualifying date, in cases when the person applies 28 days before and take super priority or priority? I am now worried looking at the post above.
2. For the absences from UK do we need to list the days from entry clearance issue date to date of entry in UK? Because these days also count towards qualifying period. The document says no evidence required which is fine but do we need to list those days in the application?
3. There is a question under Immigration History "What evidence will you provide to support the reasons for all absences from the UK and Crown Dependencies?", now all my absences outside UK were when I was working for my first company. Although you mentioned above that this letter is not mandatory anymore but I will surely be providing this letter from my current employer.
So in the response I selected "Letter(s) from employer(s) detailing reasons for work-related absences including periods of paid annual leave from the UK and Crown Dependencies and Other" and in the other checkbox I wrote "Payslips and passport stamps".
Would it be ok if I provide a single pdf file containing all the payslips from my previous employer, passport stamps showing my travel outside UK and absence letter from my current employer?
Many thanks for your all your help!
