my husband got TIER1 gereral migrant visa in dec 2008 and he has not entered UK yet because job market is not good.
What is the limit of days to be out of UK before applying for ILR after 5years i.e . PR? or we can apply for 2 years of extension again after 5 years.......
Please guide us.......as we are very confused
Thanks in advance
garimasharma,
It is important to seperate the two issues:
1. when to enter UK
Once you have been given a visa (permission to enter), you can travel at any time within the valididty of that visa. With TIER 1 it gives you lots of time to decide n plan when to travel...... BUT
2. ILR
This is determined by the time you have spent continuosly in UK. That means if you were given eg 3 year TIER 1 visa or 5 year WP, but you enetered UK after 2 years since or after it was issued, then, you will only have spent 3 years in UK after you travelled in (leave to eneter). I can see that you are really thinking far into the future (ILR), if so just get your bf or husband enter here asap, then the clock starts as he sorts out all other personal issues. My 2 pence ...XX
