Thanks for all sharing your experience helped me to sort my ILR with out help of any solicitor and immigration layers.Solihul is one of best PEO as far my experience.
My case details as follows.
1) I first entered uk on 13/Jul/2006.
2) I have nealy 25 days short absences between 2006 - 2009.
3) I had a long absence of 11/Jun/2009 - 23/Mar/2010 (287 in streach outside uk) + another 15 days in 2009 = 302 (between Apr 2009 - Mar 2010)
4) When I was in India I don't get any salary in UK ,I got married with in that period and underwent sleeping apena operation.
5) I returned back to UK 24/Mar/2010 and then no absence till now.
Today I went to solihul PEO to try my luck which work out perfectly got my ILR successfully.
During interview process case worker gone throught my form asking about my previous employment details.
Once he reaches immigration history section he identified that I was absent for longer period(302 days) and he asked me the reasion for the same.I told him I went to India for Marriage and I underwent operation for sleeping apena during that period.He asked me for the proof ,I submitted Medical certificate,Discharge summary ,Marriage certificate and personal letter detailed my absenses.Then he told me that he need to discuss with his senior before proceeding further.I agreed and he went to senior member and he had a discussion with my proof and other documents.Both went to some other place and verified my absenses may be in some other system not sure.After 10 mins case worker returned back and told me that he will considered my application based on proof provided as well I was in UK nearly 6 years 5 month in work related visa and waived my absenses.He also mention he might not considered my case if I came after 5 years completion.
After that he asked for evidences such as Life in UK test, Divident voucher,Bank statement, accountant letter.He calculated my gross salary and net divident.He also cross checking the salary and divident in my personal bank statement.Then he asked me to go to couter 6 for payment.After I made a payment ,they asked me wait on reception.Then they asked me to go for bio metrics.After bio metrics they asked me to come back by 3:00 pm for result.I returned back by 2:50pm the lady hand over my documents and ilr approval letter mention that it is successful.I will receive my Biometric card in 7 working days.
