Hi ,suchitra wrote:I don't believe anything about my case was recorded at Solihull, they just advised me to apply by post.
suchitra wrote:Yes, I think the days out of the country made it 'complicated' which was why Solihull didn't want to deal with it. But when I asked them, they acted as if the same would be true in any PEO and didn't say anything about a senior caseworker not being present in Solihull. They gave some reason like - if I sent it by post, they would be able to spend more time over my submission - this is why it might stand a better chance. I got the idea this was because the caseworkers at Solihull were inexperienced and didn't want to exercise their discretion - whereas at Croydon the person was clearly experienced and knew exactly what he was looking for.
Based on what I was told at Solihull, I would be a bit careful about applying there if you have more than 225 days out of the country.

I had a different experience yesterday with 216 business absences (none above 90) and they have requested me to provide additional letter from my previous employer stating the need for travel and my role on business travel.
How detailed was the business trips employer letter that you submitted? What did the letter mention.
I will greatly appreciate if you can share the key points in the letter as I have to send this additional document within 14 days. I can request my previous employer to add any points I might have missed based on your inputs.
Or you could share the letter here on the board, removing any personal and confidential information.
Thanks a ton.

---> I've had a similar experience with ~400 days abroad (w/o exceeding 90 days at a stretch) whilst being on a site assignment. I had all the documents requested and an employers letter which also had a para explaining why I had to go to Qatar. Unfortunately, the case worker looked like a trouble maker....inspite of my explanations he asked me for a detailed letter for the explanation of the trips to Qatar and what was it that I was actually doing on these business trips. I prepared a nice 4 page letter with all the bla blas.....and still waiting for them to respond and return all of my originals (a month now). For paying a premium fee if this is what I get then I believe their services are ridiculous...I'm sure this isnt the first time they've dealt with such a case.....then why cant they make a decision in a couple of hours? In addition to this, there were a couple of colleagues who had 900 days absence and they got their ILR!!!!!
Anyways, I'm still waiting and hoping I get a decision sooner than 6 months!!! Anyone with a similar experience?
Regards.
