Hi,

I came to the UK in 2010 May in a visiting visa, which was expiring on Nov 2010. but in August 2010, I returned back to my home country and applied for tier 4 and came to the UK at the end of September 2010. I then went to PSW and was in Tier 2 visa for almost 4.5 years and got an opportunity to pursue a PhD and again switch back to Tier4. My question is: if I want to apply for ILR in 2020, when will I be eligible ? Will it be in May 2020 or I have to wait until September 2020?

Thank you

All visas count for long residence ilr.

If you meet all the standard requirements, you can apply no sooner than within 28 days before the 10th anniversary of the date you entered the UK in 2010.
