Life event ?? Sorry what ??
I will try to post one more time my hopefully last q: "I am still on my ILR clarifications- under life event will it matter/ needed to add my daughter's birth certificate as supporting life event? She was born in UK."AmazonianX wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 3:29 pmWhile you are free to seek advice both professionally, reading and otherwise, do note that too many cooks spoils the broth.MiaLondon wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 3:17 pmThank you, Zimba. This was my original thought as well but then I start reading and talking to various lawyers and they started to overwhelm me with extra documents. It is a very important event and even though I believe less is more , I start being confused if to throw all other documents which are not required to avoid any doubt of being rejected.
Stick to the one that has not confused you on any question.
When you are applying for ILR there is apparently a field for important Life events: Marriage/divorce/birth certificates. Since my daughter was born in the UK, I was wondering if it might be a positive addition to my application (I am applying only for myself not for her) to add her birth certificate to my ILR application. I was thinking to emphasize "roots in the UK".
I haven't filled the Set O form yet but was told there is a field to fill as Life event : Marriage/divorce/birth certificates.
Yes yes, I meant for supporting documents field for ILR application will it be important under Life event to add my daughter's UK birth certificate? I thought it might show my commitement to stay here. This is of course on top of all other documents like letter from the employer etc etc..AmazonianX wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2024 6:40 pmYes there is however, this is under the categories for uploading supporting documents and NOT while filling the online form.

Thank you very much! I have an important question on ILR application: there is a question "When did you first enter the UK-This is the date you entered the UK when the period of stay you are basing this application on started." My skilful work visa was issued on 01/08/19 but I entered UK on 29/08/2019. As per my calculation I am eligible to apply 28 days PRIOR to my visa being issued which is 01/09/2019. This question confused me:AmazonianX wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 2:01 pmYou may.MiaLondon wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 10:51 amYes yes, I meant for supporting documents field for ILR application will it be important under Life event to add my daughter's UK birth certificate?

Ok understood the first question but the second question is still confusing. So 28 days for me to be eligible I shall calculate from when my skillful work visa was issued (01/09/2019) or from when I entered first UK on skillful work visa (29/09/2019)? There is a month difference. I always thought i have to calculate 28 days from the date the visa was issued.
I think you misunderstood what I am asking- based on my listed days from which day I should calculate 28 days when I am eligible to apply for ILR- 28 days from when my visa was issued (01/08/2019) or from when I entered UK (29/08/2019)? @zimba I would appreciate if you can kindly clarify! As far as I understand 28 days from when the visa was issued starts the clock of the continous 5 year residency. The fact that I entered UK 28 days later after my visa was issued can be considered as a lawful absense and I do not even need to specify it as my absense in the excel. But would highly appreciate the clarity from when do i have to calculate the 28 days. Many thanks!
Hi Zimba, if you can address my question will be fantastic: 28 days for me to be eligible to apply for SET 0 5 year skillful work visa, shall calculate from when my skillful work visa was issued (01/09/2019) or from when I entered first UK on skillful work visa (29/09/2019)? There is a month difference. I always thought i have to calculate 28 days from the date the visa was issued. And the fact that I entered UK 28 days after my visa was issued can be seen as the lawful absence which does not need to be reported on the excel.
Thank you very much, I saw it but it is not very clear to me. I just wanted to confirm :zimba wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 2:37 amThe date of the decision should be used: Applicants can benefit from the date of the ILR decision
Is self-explanatory. However at the same time I reckon the "explanation" (underlined text) can be confusing and for that reason applicants come here literally every single day asking the same, but for your route the date you answer there is irrelevant.When did you first enter the UK
This is the date you entered the UK when the period of stay you are basing this application on started.
My apologies but if it were self-explanatory then nobody will be asking questions. All I wanted is just to confirm my math and from which date to calculate 28 days since I am eligible to apply. It could also safe so much time just to answer that specific question. Many thanks!lolo2 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 2:26 pmYou're unnecessarily overthinking this.
I believe the question:

You can either put the date you entered the UK or the date you received your approval, or the vignette issue date, etc and the application should proceed.
The date of the application is irrelevant to determine eligibility, the important factor here is to ensure you're eligible at the date of decision, e.g. in your case that's ILR decision made within vignette issue date + 5 years - 28 days.
The date of your initial visa issue date!!from which date to calculate 28 days since I am eligible to apply.
The lawful residence starts from the first visa issue date and onwards and also the period between the visa issue date and the first entry is counted towards the absence limit. However, during the decision-making process and as I explained before, the qualifying period is calculated by using the date that is most beneficial to the applicant (e.g. the date of the ILR decision) and counted backwards. This means sometimes you may not need to worry about the starting date if the calculated date is after your initial visa issue date.MiaLondon wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 9:06 amThank you very much, I saw it but it is not very clear to me.

1. Date of Viginette entry visa granted on 01/08/2019
2. First entered Uk on 28/08/2019
The lawyers provide extremely confusing info stating that continuous residency in UK starts only from the entry day to UK, in my case it is 28/08/2019- 28 days+5 years from that day.
And on that forum a lot of cases were and I think you yourself stated numerous times that 28 days eligibility when one can apply for ILR counts from the day the vignette was issued, in my case 01/08/2019 so I can be eligible to apply 28 days before that day and meaning can apply even today. Can you kindly confirm that that? Namely that if I apply on 01/07/2019 (+/- 28 days from 01/08/2019+ 5 years) I should be fine ? Many thanks!
Super, many thanks- you are always straight to the point! I will be applying for the expedite (5 days) or 1 day decision. Planning to do it the beginning of the coming week. I will still be in that 28 days window since those 28 days kick in from the date of my visa vignette. Many thanks again, Zimba.zimba wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 6:40 pmThe lawful residence starts from the first visa issue date and onwards and also the period between the visa issue date and the first entry is counted towards the absence limit.
