autocrazy wrote:Hi All
I am currently in the UK on Tier 1 since November 2008. I work for UK registered company that happens to be a 100% subsidiary of an Indian company.
Now my employers are suggesting I base myself for 6 month period in the parent company in India. I shall still be employed by the UK company, paid a UK salary, but work in India for 6 months, specific to the need of the project I am currently working on. Meanwhile my wife, who is a dependant will still be based in UK, as she is pursuing her PhD.
My question to all intellegent and experienced immigration boards members is, how this affects my stay in the UK requirement under Tier 1 visa? I have not clearly seen any directive on BIA website that specifies a minimum stay during (3+2 years) on Tier 1 visa for me to eligible for ILR. If somebody can guide me on this, I will most appreciate.
I remember under original (first) HSMP rules only 6 months was permitted outside the country of the 4 years stay required in UK to be eligible for ILR
Thank you. Awaiting your response.
That is interesting, but yet not convincing. As unless we can get some proof of this from BIA, we are on a sticky wicket. I am surprised no one on the forum has faced this problem before!nksg wrote:autocrazy,
I to agree with Chetan. Though there is no link (cannot find any thing) but many of my friends got ILR by the same route.
I know some one who got ILR even he was working offshore for more than 6 months but :
1. He stick to the same company.
2. There was no gap in his work Visa.
All he did was to take a letter from the employer stating his work situation.

Could you help me with the e-mail and postal address, I shall write to them. I guess their response should be beneficial to one and all on the forum.crowbar6 wrote:Autocrazy,
I suggest you write to BIA on their email address and ask them this query. Their response will be the 'proof' you are looking for.
