Checking ILR eligibility- compelling reason not to re-enter on time

[John3293]

Still I'm not sure if I should go ahead with this application or not. Because the evidences I have are follows-

I agree with zimba. After all, the Home Office had created, and further contributed, to your mess.

Go ahead. Be calm, polite and concise in your covering letter.

Thanks a lot Vinny and Zimba. I am now a bit more confident to apply for ILR. The tops for writing the letter looks very helpful. I will try my best to follow them and document the evidences neatly. I've got permission from my old MP that I can share the email communications with the Home Office. Just checking should I make him sign the part 2 of consent form or is it enough I attach the email he sent, giving the consent ?

I think it's better I exclude my only daughter from the application for now. If I get approved, I'll apply for her separately.

Thanks a lot. Just checking is it necessary to include your dependants while making ILR application in my case? My wife is already having ILR.

Also on the consent from my MP to use the email comms we had, can I just attach the email I received from him that he allowed me sharing the email comms we had with Home Office?

It is not compulsory, however in the case of your child, read on the suggestion in previous reply.
If you deem it necessary for GDPR, do so but definitely not Part 2.

Thanks AmazonianX for your advise.

Regarding safeguarding issues when I choose to apply after I am granted ILR for my daughter's ILR, Our dependant child's visa expires only on July 11, 2025. She will certainly have the leave to remain until that day. Will that be okay enough for the Home Office to invoke safeguarding in our case?

The contact from HO is to ask what plans you have for the child if not submitting and application for them. So outlining it from beginning before you are asked eliminates the delay that can be occasioned by correspondence time between you and HO on it.

Ah, okay. I will mention that I will apply ILR for my child soon after my ILR application is approved (hopefully). Thanks your valuable heads up.



On a different note, decision letter for my latest visa renewal had the following -


Study conditions
You are allowed to study. Any study is subject to the condition that you must obtain an ATAS certificate, if you are required to do so under Appendix ATAS of the Immigration Rules. For guidance on whether you need to obtain an ATAS certificate for your intended study, check https://www.gov.uk/guidance/academic-te ... val-scheme

I had a chance to write an exam and become the member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is a professional accounting body as a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. I did make use of this and became a member. It isn't a full time course where I never needed to attend any college.

Just checking if I am okay with it??

Following the process to be a member of a professional body is not study!

Thank you very much.

Might be a silly question.

While filling the Set (O) form, there's a question 'How long have you lived in the UK? ' under Time in the UK section.

It will be 4 years 11 months since I arrived in the UK. I'm planning of answering 4 years 11 months there.

I've visited my home country twice. One was for 28 days and the other one (pretty messed up) was for 225 days (excluding the date of arrival, 224 days) . Should I exclude any of these from my 4 years 11 months or can I just give 4 years 11 months there?

Should I exclude any of these from my 4 years 11 months

No!!

can I just give 4 years 11 months there?

Yes!!
