I entered HK with 12 months training visa in early March 2011. When my training visa expired in March 2012, I left for Macau and arrived with tourist stamp the next day. Until October 2012 I had tourist stamps in my passport while I stayed with my boyfriend in HK and looked for new employment. This means I had just over 6 months gap between my Training and Employment visas. I got Employment visa on 22 October 2012 finally after finding a job.
What are my chances of getting Permanent ID approved with 6 months gap between my "ordinary residency" (Employment visa)in HK?
After all I can explain I stayed in HK with multiple up to 3 months Visitor stamps during this gap while trying my best to "make HK my permanent home" looking for employment. I had regular transactions on my bank account as well.
Thanks!
