I think he is overlooking the fact that each time he re-enters the UK it should be for the purpose of resuming settlement here. However based upon what you say he has been using his ILR like some sort of glorified visitor visa, which is not the intention at all, well not until now.please guide if its possible for anyones ILR to be revoked if he has never broken any rule and has never been away from Uk for more than 2 years.
Check the other thread in this forum... a similar caseSiggi wrote:Eugene_UK
Forget that idea, it does say you need to have one years residencey after you receive your ILR.
But think if you where out of the country for a year after your five years and had your ILR, you would have to be back in the UK for a further year before applying for BC
In other words 5 yrs plus 1 yrs break ,then returned to the UK for 1 yrs and then apply for BC
Hope that makes sense
How long were you absent from the UK over the past 5 years? Make that 3 years in case you are married to a British citizen.Eugene_UK wrote:thank you, olisun. so HO would not mind if after receiving ILR I spend 1 year abroad and then after another year in order to make it 5+1 years in the UK I can apply for Naturalisation. Am I right?
Well, they are nationals, not residents. ILR is a residence visa (for technical sake) for people who want to reside here (permanently, of course), and you don't need to become a citizen just because you hold ILR. If you aren't in the UK then it shows you don't need/want ILR and you don't need/want to live in the UK on a permanent basis.rogerroger wrote:i dont think marriage has anything to do with it.
my dad had his ILR revoked many years ago because he was living out of the UK and visiting once every 2 years for quite some time (actually i think he did it for 10 years).
it does not seem fair for ILR that they cant reside outside the countries whilst british citizens can remain outside (or can they?)
a friend of mine was out of the UK for over 20 years, (of course he was born, so i guess they could not take his nationality away on that basis)
True and false.sakura wrote: Also, I read somewhere that even BCs cannot leave the UK for ages and ages and come back and immediately start using public services like the NHS? Like..if you are diagnosed with cancer in, say the US and you are not a legal resident or something, you cannot fly back to the UK for long-term medical treatment if you haven't been paying taxes? Well....I only read it somewhere...does anyone know if this is true?
