Hiya, Thanks for your reply. I do not have any letter from HO but I will give a ring UKBA and find out.devet wrote:Hiya,
Do you have any letters from HO following the withdrawal of your first work permit? Anything in writing stating you had a certain number of days to finalise your second work permit?
I think it comes down to lawful residency during the 5 years and that you have been 'economically active' (as others have described), but am not certain.
It may be that the clock was 'reset' at the beginning of your second work permit and the 5 years of qualifying residency started then.
They are pretty good about answering anonymous questions at UKBA, why not ring and ask?
All the best,
Pamela
Sorry! I should have mentioned this before. My continuous stay is after the second WP.sushdmehta wrote:How can the stay be continuous if there is a gap of 43 days? Please explain with dates.

OK, I thought Visa dates also play a role here.sushdmehta wrote:Visa dates are not relevant, your stay in the UK and absence(s) from the UK is.
1. When was the 2nd WP approved?
2. When did you enter UK on the visa issued 12/09/07?
regards
i am having almost similar no of days gap in my residency. and my previous employer has agreed to provide me the letter mentioning my start and end date of employment in the UK but not specific declaration of this gap. Would there be any problem if they do not specifically mention that I was away for work reasons?sushdmehta wrote:IMHO, subject to caseworker discretion. For 43 days you had no leave to enter or remain in the UK - hence a break in residency.
A letter from your employer certifying that you have been in continuous employment since 03-July-05 may prove useful. Also, it may help if the 77 days absence can be shown as work related.

I was away for project work reasons. I had been sent to my native country to work from Offshore for the same project that I was working here in the UK and hence there was gap of 45 days.sushdmehta wrote:ice.blade, explain reason for the gap.
regards
thanks for quick reply.sushdmehta wrote:In that case, are you worried that you have crossed or will be crossing the 180 days limit in the 5 years qualifying period? If yes, then you'll need a letter from the employer certifying the absence as work related. If not, then there is nothing to worry.
