I showed you the earliest date to apply. You may apply on a later date as the qualifying period is counted from the most beneficial date to the applicant and backwards. Please go through the advice and links given to you !!
Such discretion is rarely exercised. You also have very long absences from the UK. The discretion requires you to prove that the absences were not planned and were totally out of your control. For example, planning to go back home to take care of a family member is not really a satisfactory reason on its own. Solicitors cannot do anything magical for you either, some may even tell you anything you'd like to hear so you hire them and pay their high fees. Any discretion is up to the UKVI and from experience, they are very rarely exercisedprjaja wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 3:06 pmAlso: there is a lawful home office exception for absence under medical grounds of serious illness of a close family member. Hence they will apply discretion under their own exception.
I am looking to know if there is a cap on number of days of absence even under the exception.
Would any solicitors in the community able to guide? Thanks
These absences indicate that you basically have not been living in the UK since you were granted a visa. Unsure how UKVI can exercise discretion in this case. ILR is for someone who wants to stay indefinitely in the UK, and your evidence demonstrates the opposite.My absences have been
Year 1 250+ days
Year 2 250+ days
Year 3 300+ days
We are all unpaid volunteers here and not solicitors.Awaiting a few other responses if there are any solicitors in this community who can advise too.
If the absence relates to your mothers illness and she lives abroad, what is the purpose of an NHS letter?? Did she get medical treatment here as a visitor?I have all the evidence of unplanned travel,
Medical records and certificates, doctors letter, hospitalization record including discharge summary from
NHS stating a life threatening infection.
ILR is not a mandatory application. You are free to keep extending your visa.Is there an allowed limit to absence under exception on compassionate grounds?
You must be able to show that you earned money in your expert field during your time in the UK by sending evidence toward your application, for example payslips.
No extension is offered if your ILR application fails. Your application will be refused and fees lost.
