This is too vague for a conclusive answer.
When were you in the UK and if you had long absences, how long were they?

The limit is NOT 6 months in total over the 10 years. The limit is actually 540 days in total over 10 years.
Also if you have had a continuous period of absence over 6 months, then your continuous residence is broken under the long residence route. Under the family route there is no absence limit, so you can apply using form SET(M) after having had 120 months of leave under the family route

Thank you so much for your prompt response that absence is clear to me. Please I want to know more the 120 months of leave.can I count my completing 120 months of leave to remain if I was granted 10 years route in January 2014 base on partner and the second one on partner but the third one is base on parent and I’m just going to complete my third 2.5 leave in January 2024 or I will have to renew for the 4th times before I can apply for indefinite leave.

If you have 10 years, you can get ILR under family route

Please guys I need advice ILR that I wanted to apply next month.

I have some criminal records for over 13years now but I didn’t convicted with any of offences according to PCN.

But I was serve with below:
immigration offender in breach of Section 10(1)(A) of the 199914, which is an offence under 24(1)(b)(I)

subject has been served IS151A, IS151PRT2, IS91R

But I have been granted 2.5 years 3 times since 2014

Please I just want to know if any of this can have any impact with my settlement.

Thanks

[zimba]

If this happened in 2014, then you should not face any issues

[Mya101]

Thank you Zimba,I’m so relief now but I also want to know if police drop drinking driving offences case because of no evidence can that have any issue on my indefinite leave.

The case happened in 2020 and Police drop the case in 2021 and I was granted 2.5 leave to remain in 2021.

Thank you

[zimba]

If the case was dropped then there is no issue

[Mya101]

Please which form do I need to fill ILR,I’m on 10yrs route base on my children as a single father.

[Mya101]

Please is it adviseable for me to apply by myself

[zimba]

The correct form for people under 10 year family route is the adult settlement form: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... t-relative

Hello,
Please I need assistant about access my children,my ex don’t want to write any letter confirming that I do see my children and i also pay child maintenance I can prove that.

I have written letter in my application about the rolls in my children life.

Please how else can I go about about it,I have done my biometric yet but I have booked an appointment

[zimba]

What is the need for such a letter ?

[Mya101]

Thanks for your response ZimbaEvidence of Me having access to my children such as a written agreement between both parents or a child arrangement order.the problem is we both don’t have any written agreement and no child arrangement order aswel but she refused to write letter confirming my roles in our children as we are no more together.

And they also requesting Document(s) showing your child / children's immigration status such as passports, biometric residence cards, or vignettes but my children are born by a British Mother and they don’t have British passports yet because they have not left uk for once.

I’m applying for my indefinite leave to remain.please I will need your assistant because I have need to upload all the documents before my biometric enrolment.Thank you

[zimba]

You should write a cover letter explaining your situation, providing proof that you are paying child support and saying that she refused to write a written agreement.Also mentioning that children are British already will be enough
