ILR (long residence) questions

Post by tonyflyingt » Sat Jul 12, 2025 4:29 am

Hi all,
I am planning to apply for ILR (long residence) this August. I’d appreciate any clarification on two issues:

A. Cancelled application:
  • I had a valid Student visa in the UK that was due to expire in Jan 2023.
  • In October 2021, I finished my course and submitted an application for Graduate visa
  • I then decided to cancel (withdraw) that application (as I entered my passport number wrong).
  • After that, I immediately submitted a new application and got approved eventually
  • SAR document record I requested shows the cancelled application as "Withdrawn".
B. Changed course:

I also had a change of course in 2017. But my University immigration compliance team emailed me that since the courses were in the same department, with same length and same level, I did not need to apply for new student visa. I can also see one (and only) record on my SAR document saying "Sponsor notification - change of circumstance (Notification recorded)" (outcome: Notification recorded). Nothing related to the visa curtailment.

My question:
Will this withdrawn application and the change of course in my case affect my continuous lawful residence (and ILR application under 10 year long residence)?

Many thank in advance!
