My status as of now is that I am on a tier 1 general visa (issued in dec 2009) due for renewal in april 2013 (my psw was valid till april 2010). I also complete my 10 years of legal, unbroken stay in october 2011. Assuming that we do not get any nasty surprises in july 2011, here is my question
1) I intend to travel the world over 3-4 summer months. As per as my understanding, the 10 year rule requires that you do not spend more than 6 months outside the country at a stretch or a total of 18 months over the period of the 10years. I shall be ok with both but am a bit worried about the fact that tier 1 general stipulates that no more than 90 days are spent outside the country per year. Considering that I shall try to get my ILR trough the 10 yr route, would this be an infringement of the tier 1 general stipulations, hence disqualifying myself from getting IL?r???
2) If for whatever reasons i do not get the ilr on the basis of the 10 yr rule, would this be a major problem while trying to get an extension of my Tier 1 general visa? Are they usually very particular about the time spent outside the country?
Kind Regards
