I have exceed the 180 days allowance for an ILR application, can I still apply?

Posted on January 24, 2022

I would like to make an inquiry about ILR Residency Period. I am an EU National. I first entered the UK and was officially registered on November 11 2017. But I have been away and returned fully on August 13 2018. Based on this scenario, when will I be qualify to apply for the Permanent Settled (Indefinite Stay).

Public Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

There are 180 days allowable absence in the continuous 12-month period prior to an ILR application and it appears you may have exceeded this amount. The Home Office have given consideration to the impacts of the pandemic through the Covid Visa Concession Scheme (CVCS). We would need to discuss with you whether any concession may apply in your circumstances.

I have used OTS Solicitors on 2 occasions this year, one was for ILR and the other was a more personal matter. I had the privilege of working with Sanae for my ILR application and Hans for the more personal matter. Both Hans and Sanae were incredibly professional when discussing the respective matters with me. They were quick to respond to any questions I had and always went out of their way to give me guidance and advice where I needed it. Both my ILR application and the personal matter were settled quickly and with very little issues as a result. Thanks for all the help Sanae and Hans. Case Workers: Sanae Sahebjalal

I highly recommend NOLLIENNE ALPARAQUE from OTS SOLICITORS. Nollienne has been my Immigration Lawyer for the last 5 years. Nollienne was able to work on my immigration case which granted me 5 years visa, now 5 years later, I was granted my Indefinite Leave to Remain. Nollienne was able to explain to me the steps and always managed my expectations, she is professional and dillegent with her work, she has comforted me during my difficult times which i am so grateful for. Not only she acted as a Lawyer but also someone with compassion who helped me through this process. Thank you so much to Nollienne Alparaque. Case Workers: Nollienne Alparaque
I had worked with Nollienne on an application for Indefinite Leave to Remain. Nollienne was incredibly helpful throughout the process, professional, supportive, very diligent and highly knowledgeable about all the details required. Furthermore, she provides a tailored service that is flexible to my individual timeline / requirements (particularly as I wanted it sorted in a short timeframe). Overall, she led the process to a successful and stress-free application approval. Would recommend her to anyone and I am thankful to have had her. Case Workers: Nollienne Alparaque
