Got ILR last year September. I know I should wait, but I have to travel more than ever this year for work. The positions I would like to progress to all require frequent travel abroad, it's a pain in the back side every time I try to get a visa for anywhere. I need to stay at some of the places for weeks at a time and they can only issue me single entry visas, while my colleagues and friends can just go off to hong kong or Dubai for a weekend I will have to be stuck at somewhere I don't know anyone
I'm just really frustrated, I have already missed an important meeting for my project because meeting date was only scheduled two days before and I couldn't get a visa at such short notice, as you can imagine I'm not mangers' favourite due to the inflexibility.
I have already travelled 50 days since obtaining ILR, can't afford to wait another 7 months ....
