Absence time in uk

[Salina]

Hello Guys,

I got tier-1 visa till 2011.

Due to job losses in uk, i am thinking of working in india for a certain time (about 6 to 12 months).

So due to that continuous absence of time in uk, does it affect my visa or citizenship.

kind regards

This is crazy. There is one to two a day on this subject.
First of all, you have Tier 1 Visa to work in the UK
So then you are supposed to work in the UK, not go somewhere else.
So of course it affects your visa. After 3 months, you are considered to have broken continuity of residence, thus I think you can put 2 and 2 together, I hope, and figure out the implications and potential consequences of leaving for 6 to 12 months.
Before you come back with some other kind of hypothetical,
feel free to be funny and come back every 3 months to keep the visa active but when it comes to ILR or renewal, you will have to show your income and what are you going to show for that time frame you are working elsewhere?
Please answer that questions before you ask any followup questions.

To follow-on from what republique has said, if you are thinking of applying for an extension of your visa or even for ILR down the line, you will need demonstrate continuity of residence. Also, it would be difficult to qualify for an extension of your visa if all your earnings are in another country.

Thanks to all for dropping their valuable comments on the above topic.

The first thing i want to mention is when we apply for indefinite we dont have to show the payslips for the whole 5 years we might have to show only for 3 to 12 months.

So the outcome seems to be:

It not gonna affect ur entry to uk, but it gonna affect ur citizenship.

Affected by either delay in ur citizenship or rejecting ur citizenship for not being in the country for the consecutive five years.

N Also i would be glad if someone can drop the comments who faced the above problem.

You are supposed to have spent 5 years in UK before you are ranted an ILR. Although you do not have to show salary slips etc. for the entire 5 year period, HO has complete information on your movements - entry/exits through your immigration records (scanned and recorded at ports of entry/exit).

So any prolonged absence will not only affect your citizenship (which will come later) but the grant of ILR itself.

No for work/tier1 permits, you will have to show economic activity for 5 years with the current proof of bank statements so again stop trying to be funny. Go check the form instead of trying to promote bad info for your cause. So answer the questino. what income are you going to show when you are away?

Kan't we giv the excuse of market recession or personal problem during the absence time.

If we kan how much is the success rate of getting the ILR.

I think most of them are in the same boat due to job losses.

that would defeat the purpose of the visa
when times get tough, you work elsewhere?
then what good are you to the Uk economy?
so of course not, you can't say the economy was bad so I worked elsewhere
you can try anything you want, but I estimate the chances to be zero for successful ILR,

If we didnt met the criteria of being in uk physically for the continuous 5 years (missed about 12 to 24 months in 5 years)

options:

1) Ur visa has been extended for another 2 to 3 years n than apply for ILR

2) u failed to fulfill the creteria of tier-1 go bak to ur home country

3) ILR granted bcs ur excuses has been accepted

Ur open and authentic views are welcomed.
