Re: Spouse salary threshold to rise to £38,700

Re: Spouse Returning Resident question (reinstate ILR)

I did lose my ILR as I was not 'resident' in the UK once relocating to the USA in late 2008. I did go back to visit multiple times, but only a week or two at a time. I suspect I have lost my ILR...
