ILR Success - Solihull - with unpaid absence

[hsmpguy1234]

Hello All,

I know there have been many posts around this issue, but I am posting another just to help someone looking for some more positive energy ...

So here it goes:

HSMP - 2008-2010
Tier 1 G - 2010-2013

Documents:
12 months payslips
12 months bank statement
Life in the UK pass certificate.

Left section 6.3 of the form blank, as none of my leaves was work-related.

I had around 2 weeks of unpaid leave/absence and around 3 weeks of absence from the UK while I was between jobs. Total absences in 5 years around 210. The CW did ask to confirm that none of my absences was greater than 180 days in a single year, but no other questions.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Hearty Congratulations! Can you pls advise what reason did you specify in the form for your unpaid absences. Thanks,

Hi, congratulations

I have my PEO on Monday, think I am over preparing myself!

One question, will I be allowed to make calls in the PEO office? Just in case if debit card payment doesnt go through or anything I could call my bank on the spot? (I enquired but bank can't pre-authorise/premark payments in advance)

In any case the debit card fail , will I be allowed to try credit card on the spot?

[rajesh9pl]

at Croydon PEO, you can make calls. It should same in other PEOs too.

Congratulations to original poster. I have been always looking for cases where absences of less than 180 days were not supported by any letter from employer.

Cheers!

@kapilc

I didn't specify any reason at all.

Infact I didn't specify that any of my absences was unpaid, as there is no such question on the application form.

Yes, I had a separate letter from my employer mentioning the unpaid absence and a letter from myself explaining it, but that was not asked for by the CW.

@black_bird
Yes, I was able to read a couple of text messages from friends while CW was gone for payment. I'm not sure what is the policy about taking calls while you are at the CW window.

@everybody else

Thanks for your wishes ...

Congratulations!

A question regarding 6.3 section that you left blank. Are you saying we need to fill that section up only if we break the 180 days rule?

[hsmpguy1234]

@gre.bm691

No, I'm not saying that.

My understanding is, and I can be wrong, that I need to fill section 6.3 for work-related absences, and as I didnt have any, I left it blank and I was not asked anything by the CW regarding that.
