If you are not exempt from the KOL requirement, you must demonstrate a good knowledge of language and life in the UK before you apply for settlement. Most applicants will need to do this by:
passing the 'Life in the UK' test, if they speak English to a reasonable standard, or if they are currently in the UK as skilled or highly skilled migrants; or
taking and passing a course in English and citizenship, if they do not speak English.

I would appreciate if someone can please answer my query. I have been in UK continuously from last 12 years legally. I want to apply for ILR under 10 years long residency rules. I have a problem and looking to get an advice that in 2006 i just overlooked my extension date and was 20 days late in applying for FLR. Although I was with in UK but there was a 20 days period without visa.
Can anybody please advise me if I am eligible to apply under 10 years long residency rule? And under what rules I can be exempted to that 20 days period of without visa?
An early respond would be highly appreciated and life saving for me.
Kind Regards

Which application did you file after that 20 days gap?"Indefinite Leave to Remain on the grounds of long residence, it will be refused as you will fail to meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules under Paragraph 276D with reference to Paragraph 276B(i)(a) of HC395 (as amended)".
You were granted student visa:shahzad001 wrote:Many thanks for your reply.
I did applied for student extension and got this successfully. Any provision or any rules I can apply under this rule .... please please help.
Many thanks

This was because the Immigration Rules for LTR in that capacity(student) did not require that applicants have extant leave at the time of application. Further in your case, as you were granted F'LR in the capacity of student, it should be noted that this is a category that does not of itself lead to settlement. It should not therefore, be inferred that as leave was subsequently granted in your case that this raises an exception that any future application on the basis of long residence would see the requirement to have spent a period of 10 years lawful continuous residence in the UK waived.
You only have got 2 options:When considering an application for ILR on the basis of length of residence, the Secretary of State should be satisfied that the applicant has acted lawfully throughout the entire period and has made every attempt to comply with the immigration rules.
If an applicant has a single short gap in lawful residence through making one single previous application out of time by a few days (not usually more than 10 calendar days out of time), discretion can be exercised, ILR, so long as the application meets all the other requirements.
I think you should be fine. Earlier this wasn't possible as your gap was more than 10 days. However, the rules have recently changed and your continuous stay is not broken if your gap doesn't exceeds 28 days. Please refer to the below.shahzad001 wrote:I would appreciate if someone can please answer my query. I have been in UK continuously from last 12 years legally.

You may grant the application if an applicant:
has short gaps in lawful residence through making previous applications out of time by no more than 28 calendar das, and
meets all the other requirements for lawful residence.You can use your judgement and use discretion in cases where there may be exceptional reasons why a single application was made more than 28 days out of time.
They have not made a promise. The public service needs tangible targets so that they have something to work toward. Their aim is not "as much money as possible" or "maximise the shareholders' wealth." The 6 months happens to be one of those targets. Those targets are also the promise the home office makes to ministers.Izno wrote:Just want some feedbacks and ideas . I am an august applicant still waiting a decision.
