Do you know what will happen if my ILR application (5 year work permit) get rejected for large absences reason. I was out of the country for 230 days over the last 5 years. If I can exclude the business trips, outgoing, incoming days and public holidays the number come down to 185 days. The annex F states that (I quote):
I intend to apply on 20th Feb by premium service in Glasgow and my current WP visa will run out on 22nd Feb. Thus, I have some questions and will be very grateful if you can help me:Where an application for settlement is to be refused only because of lack of continuity of residence but is likely to succeed if re-submitted within a year a suitable extension should be granted on the same conditions as before with a letter indicating that the case for settlement will be reviewed upon application at the end of the further period
1. I wonder has anybody was in my situation or knew somebody who was. If so, could you please tell me the outcome? If they extend your visa, what will it be (e.g. type, validity)?
2. Do you know any case the visa got rejected for the same reason and you will need to leave the country?
3. Do you know if the decision will be made in the same day, given that it will not be in Croydon?
4. Lastly, if it get converted to postal application, what will my status be during the waiting time? Am I still eligible to work?
Thank you very much,
Johnny
