tnx for the quick reply! i dnt get it. how many months should i stay in the uk before i can apply for ILR, ive red a thread before, they said its 23 months??? can i apply ILR later than 2 years? or at least after a year of my stay in the uk so i we can visit my family here anytime we want?

you can apply for ILR (thats if they dont change immigration laws which effect this in july 2011) upto 28 days before you've been in the UK 2yrs !!

you can go back to the phils anytime you want, but try not to spend more than 90 days out of the uk each yr. thou you could spend longer, but the longer your out the chances of refusal increase, as the UK is suppose to be your home

you have to apply for ILR or FLR before your current visa expires..

thanks joe! that's a good news! i can go back in my country anytime i want!

if i stay here in PH til 15th of July, will it still be alright or will it be counted to the 90 days allowed holiday?

check your visa, if its valid for 27 months, then you've no problems staying til mid july.

there is no set maximum number of days you need to be in the UK to get ILR, but as i said b4 the UK is suppose to be your home, but many people have used 90 days as a guide for how many days you can be out of the UK. and i think they haven't had a problem getting ILR using that figure..

as for staying in the phils til july 15, the sooner you come to the uk, the sooner you can apply for ILR, because you can apply for ILR 23 months after you first entered the uk and not before..
