SET (M) application, 180 absence from the UK

[peter07]

I am planning to apply for ILR in few months time, but I really need your help!!

I've passed life in the UK test

I was granted an unmarried partner visa almost tow years ago, but I left the UK three times. The first time I left the UK for just 10 days (family visit). The second time I left the UK for three weeks (family visit), however, the third time I had to leave the UK for five and a half months and that was to care for my father. I have a letter saying that diring the five and a half months I was caring for my father as he was ill and needed care.. The letter is from a hospital from my country..

Moreover, During the five and a hslf months, me and my partner kept in contact almost daily by email and I have a proff of it..

Apply by post, not in person.

Thanks Casa,
But do you think there is any chance of losing my ILR even if I am applying by post, however I spent about 180 days out of the Uk

If you apply by post you'll be given the opportunity to explain further if required, or provide more proof.

Thanks Casa for your help!!

I really do need help / advice from anyone who had an experience of applying for SET (M) application with around 180 time out of the uk..


I am planning to apply by post and I have plenty of documents with joint names and single names spread over 2 years...

however, during my time out the uk, I kept in contact with my Partner visa emails and telephone, as well as during my time out the UK I was still paying for some bills through my bank account,

your help is much appretiated
