Mauricio Member Member # 1882	Posted February 13, 2002 10:59 PM Hi I have been in UK for two years time as student doing an MSc. I am wondering if I keep my student condition for another two years am I entitled to apply for ILR?? For how long should I stay in the UK to be eligible for a ILR as student?? Or under my student condition is not possible to apply for an ILR no mater how long I stay in the UK?? And to finish with, is any regulation that treat me in some way more favourable to obtain a WP in the UK since I’ve got my MSc. degree in the UK ???(paying a lot of money since I am not from EU) Any help? Please ! Thank you.

BA777 Member Member # 922	Posted February 15, 2002 02:00 AM I heard that UK relaxed the rules on getting WP or TWES for candidates who graduated from a UK institution, especially in Masters. One big catch: your education shouldn't have been sponsored by your government. Maybe those more in the know will be able to provide more details...
