Tier 1 Entrepreneur to ILR- Covid-19 absence

[boraoo111222]

Hi

I would like to ask about my ILR application, I am under T1 entrepreneur, my business runs well, all related documents already be prepared, only one problem I need some advices, From 2020/01-2021/09, I back to China, due to Covid-19 my flight keep be cancelled monthly. I totally booked 3 times different flights, and changed by 9 times, China Covid-19 policy is extremely strict, direct flight between China-UK is unavailable and only very limited flights so very difficult to buy ticket, I keep flight cancellation notice via SMS from airplane, the E-tickets I booked and the related police also available to access via official website or news report.

Whether these evidence could be accepted by home office? if not enough, what else should be provide?

Anyone have same situation but ILR application successful?

Your kindly advice will be very helpful.

Thank you so much.

It is up to UKVI to apply discretion. I suggest to provide whatever you have and they will decide

I haven't seen any official waiver of the 180 day rule because of COVID. HO does have the ability to waive the requirement for ‘serious or compelling’ reasons.
So you will just have to apply, attach all the evidence and mention that you are seeking waiver of the absence requirement.
Hopefully it will be accepted as you seem to have a genuine case.

Whenever requesting for a waiver or special consideration best is to provide full details.
