https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... le-versionApplications from outside the UK
In limited circumstances where a person had permission before leaving the UK and made a successful application from outside of the UK, it will not break the period of continuous residence.
Applications for permission that were made outside the UK on or after 26 November 2016 will not break the period continuous residence if:
•the applicant had permission when they left the UK and made a successful application for entry clearance before that permission expired
•the applicant had permission when they left the UK and made a successful application for entry clearance within 14 days of that permission expiring except for applicants applying under Appendix Long Residence
•under Appendix Long Residence, where the applicant had permission when they left the UK,and returned to the UK with valid permission in the same or another route, provided the applicant was not absent for more than 184 days where the absence started before 11 April 2024, or 180 days for absences which started on or after 11 April 2024, continuous residence is not broken
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... accessibleParagraph CR 4.1.(d)(iii) also preserves the position in the rules as of 10 April 2024 for applicants who had permission when they left the UK and returned to the UK with a valid permission, provided they do not exceed the limit of permissible absences.
For the periods of absence started before 11 April 2024, the transitional arrangement maintains ALL the old rules regarding absences in place. So you do not need to worry about thisJumbolizard wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2024 3:42 pmThanks Zimba!
chandran_geek, I have similar situation. I will only be able to apply for ILR in December this year. If you are going ahead with your application, can you let me know please if your application will be successful?
The advice you got is correct. Your spouse can only settle if she has been under any dependent visa for a total of 5 years. Otherwise, she extends under her current route until she has 5 years. Then she settles using form SET(O) under the skilled worker route.chandran_geek wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2024 5:20 pmJumbolizard all the very best for your application. i would be applying only next year Aug as my UK stay starts from sep/2015.
Zimba i have a follow up question regarding the ILR for my spouse and first kid born outside UK, both of them are living with me in UK since 2018 continuously. i have got an advise from another sub group "British citizenship" that first kid born outside UK cant be register as British citizen directly after my ILR and needs to follow same path as my spouse, so when i apply for ILR do they qualify as well to apply for ILR? if not what is the way forward for my spouse and first kid to get ILR?
