Ilr Granted today

[AIRFORCE1]

I was granted Ilr today at Sheffield peo with my one dependent exactly 28 before 5 yr qualifying period. My case was quite straight forward, on work permit for 5 yrs single employer and 110 days absence.

My appt was at 1045 but reached at 1000 was allowed in after security check. Went to reception and was given a ticket with number and receptionst asked me wait for my number to be called. My no. was called at about 1020 went to the counter, the lady asked me for my application and passports and started filling up some form. Then she asked my KOL notification letters and she informed me that case worker will let you know your score. Then she asked me if I have bank statements and payslips to which I said yes but she never took them from me. She then asked for photos and then did some checks on her computer, went to back office did some more checks and then she came back. She handed me my application and passports with a form which was filled by her all nicely tucked in a folder and asked me to pay at the payment counter.

I paid my fees(I must say this fees was the biggest ever one time transaction with my credit card) and then cashier took my application and asked me to wait for my number to be called. All this was done till 1100.

At about 1115 my number was called to see caseworker. He was a friendly guy, he had my application already in his hand. Then he asked me for my KOL letters, which I gave him and he cheked it on system and told me I scored 23. Then he asked for my employer letter, payslips and bank statements.

Then we joked a bit about weather blah blah blah(wasnt funny for me as still he hasnt told me if I have got ILR). Anyways we continued for a bit, he asked about my current job like hows it going blah blah blah. Then he checked my payslips against my bankstatements and then gave me all papers back except application and employer letter and he said he is granting us ILR today. He said the sticker will take about 45 mins and you can take a stroll in fresh air and come back.
Went out came back 1215 and then my number was called got the passports stamped, checked my name and details and that was it. Hurrayyy.

All I submitted:

Passports
Application
Employer Letter
KOL
3 payslips
3 bank statements
copy of workpermit

I wasnt asked for any other documents even though I was carrying a fairly heavy bag.
I would like to thank to all those members who helped me in preparing my case and for the opinions of all other members.

Hi,

COngratulations for the ILR. I had a quick questions about the ILR. You mentioned about 110 days absence. Does that mean you were not in UK for 110 days ?. I am actually on a Tier 1 from last 3 .5 years and wanted to leave the country for about 2 - 3 months. Which means that I would not be employed in UK for that time. Could you tell me if I will still qualify for the ILR in that case after the completion of 5 years.

Thanks in advance

If these absences are on business, then you shouldn't worry about them.... but if they're for pleasure, then you need t be mindful of the total number of days you can be outside of UK to get a successful application when you want to apply for ILR in future.

[enigma_rrs]

they are not for pleasure nor for business, but for some family urgency. In that case would you know for how long - the period of time that you mentioned - can I be out of the country in order to still qalify. Is there any official documentation which I can refer to ?

Congrats AIRFORCE1!

Lots of RESPECT MAN...

[nksg]

you can refer to ILR guidelines where it says that you can be out of country not more than 90 days in one go (continuous) and 180 days in total 5 years...

I read this few months ago...

Thanks,

and during those ( say 90 days ) when I am out of country am I required to be employed in UK for PR eligibility ?

[nksg]

Not a requirement.. as i know some one who took long holiday to the home country between the two contracts...

i think over 2 months... once the contract expired he went back and the came back got new contract and now got ILR under JR.
