Long Residence and 2023 changes to Immigration Bail

[Nightshade]

Well it says:

The following periods will break continuous residence:

•Immigration bail, temporary admission, and temporary release
•permission as a Visitor, Short-term Student (English language) or Seasonal Worker (or any of their predecessor routes)
•overstaying which is not disregarded

Of course if it breaks the continuous residence then it is not considered lawful residence at all.

Then I have no idea what grounds my ILR was granted on, cause then that means I have a clear break of a good few months in 2018. Ah well not like it matters anymore. On to living my life now hah.

Hi,

Just wanted to bump this topic a bit in case it's of any help to someone in the future. I had done a SAR and I finally found out the reason behind my ILR grant.

Essentially, Home Office accepted that my refusal in 2021 was in error and that ILR should have been granted back then considering I met the criteria and I had made a valid application in 2021. So on that basis they applied discretion (which I requested whilst making the case) and they granted me ILR on the basis of Leave Outside The Rules.

No problem.
Just annoyed that it cost me an extra £4445 to get here, £1560 for IHS in 2021 as they rejected the ILR and gave me FLR (FP), and £2885 for another ILR application this year neither of which I'd have had to pay if they had applied the rules correctly back in 2021 (which they fully admit they didn't), or even gave me a right to appeal.

Don't think there's any way to take them to court to claim that money back either.

And an extra £1120 for lawyer too this time around, so it's £5565 in total lol
Sheesh !
