eligibility for ILR

[nitin2k]

Hi all,
I have a query regarding my eligibility for ILR, would appreciate if anyone with reliable information on the same can respond to it.
I came to the UK in June 2006 on work permit. Since then I have travelled out of Uk for work and holidays. I have following two queries:
1. In year 2007, I went to India for holidays (between project, but returned on the same work permit) for 94 days in a single trip. Does this disqualify me from applying for ILR by 2011 June?
2. Due to my work as consultant, I have travelled out of UK for business a lot and as a result my total number of days out of the UK since June 2006 has exceeded the limit of 180days. This is including business and holidays abroad.
Any advise on the above will be very helpful. Kindly, do please give reliable information or share your experiences.

Cheers
Nitin


Hi,

can I break these absence of 94 days in days required for business purposes and unpaid leave.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,
Nitin

1- could be a problem.
2- it should be ok as long as u can justify the absences.

1. If you were paid in UK for the period of 94 days, should be OK. Just take a letter from your employer confirming the same...

Hi,

I had been worried about my ILR application due to my absences of more than 90 days on one ocassion from the UK.

I now want to inform all the members that I was successfully granted ILR on 16th June 2011. Based on experiences posted from other members, I also decided to go to Solihull and boy..oh.boy was I right in doing so.

Turns out that Solihull is the best place to go for your PEO appointment because the fee is taken only after the case worker is certain that the application is successful.

Based on my experience at Solihull, I will advise anyone who have any such doubt about their application should try and book his PEO appointment at Solihull.

Cheers..
