VISA Start date and ILR

[hiteshdargan]

Hi

My visa has been issued from 9 November 2009 from Delhi.

If I am not able to move to the uk before 8 February 2010. Will these 3 months be considered as time outside the UK.

From what I understand at the time of applying for ILR, in the preceding 5 year period the applicant cannot be outside UK for more than 180 days and no single visit outside the UK for more than 90 days.

If I do not enter before 8 february 2010, will I be disallowed a ILR on being outisde UK for 90 days .

Thanks

Your counter will start from your date of entry in uk
and so as 180 days leave as well.
unless u enter the uk, your counter toward ILR wont trigger.

You have to again apply for extension of leave, before you can apply for ILR. Although rules can change till then, so be cool!!

During your extension mention in your cover letter to grant you visa for extended period. You need only 4-5 days in this case. Caseworkers do grant visa for little extended period(or from a particular date)..but this cannot be gauranteed.

Besides, you can apply for ILR 28 days before your leave expires so you can plan accrodingly without going for second extension.

B-U-T, that time is very far from now and there are more changes in rules coming along.
