I am currently on Tier 1 Visa granted on 12th of Nov 2009. I entered UK on a HSMP issued on 12th of Nov 2007. I will be eligible for ILR on 12th of Nov 2012 as my 5 years of stay would have been completed by then.
Now my question is although my visa was issued on 12th Nov 2007 I entered UK on 18th of Jan 2008 (70 days) since there would not be many people hiring at that time - Christmas Period.
After that I was away on holidays here and there for a total period of 70 days in these 3 years. I might go for another couple of holidays in the next 2 years before my 5 year period.
I am making sure that I do not stay more than 180 days in total over a period of 5 years.
Will I have a problem cause I stayed for a continuous period of 70 days initially?
I understand this but does this still apply even though I was in UK for 2 years before I got HSMP and only went to India to get my passport stamped (Only then I stayed for 70 days)???sushdmehta wrote:As Markie has already mentioned, your ILR clock started on 18Jan08 (when you entered UK) and not 12Nov07 (when your visa was issued).
regards
