However, can you please advise me how long I need to saty in Uk as a student / or other status to qualify me to apply for Nationalization / or to get unlimited visa. Thanking you for your kind co-operation towards thses. Regards, NO. I came to UK last Septembet '99 and my wife and kid entered in Uk as dependent Jan 2000.

| Mauricio Member Member # 1882 | Posted February 23, 2002 07:46 PM Hi, well you need at least 10 years stayin in the UK as student to apply for ULR (unlimited leave to remain) or 4 years on a work permit base. At this moment there are some regulations about shortage in the IT field that make easier (in theory) apply for a work permit. Hope it helps. |
| Alex the Warrior unregistered | Posted February 25, 2002 02:14 AM Its actually ILR -- Indefinite Leave to Remain, not ULR. If you fall into one of the shortage occupations as listed on www.workpermit.gov.uk then your employer won't have to run job ads, its MUCH easier that way. |
| Kiron Junior Member Member # 2193 | Posted February 26, 2002 01:35 AM Thanks to u all. I heard from one of my friend that anyone who is leaving in UK as a student status with his family for 7 years, he can appeal for Unlimited Visa. Is it true? Please let me know. Thanking you with best regards, |
| Sanwar Member Member # 104 | Posted February 26, 2002 09:37 PM Hi If you have lawfully been in the UK for ten years in any lawful status you will probably be in a position to apply for indefinite leave to remain under a concession outside the immigration rules. For example, you may be a student who can show ten years in the UK in student status, or can show ten years in the UK in a combination of student status and some other status. There is also a concession whereby a British Overseas Citizen (not the same as a British Citizen) may gain indefinite leave to remain if he/she has been in the UK for seven year. This is also a concession outside the immigration rules. Once you are granted indefinite leave to remain you will have to wait a further year before applying for naturalization (UK citizenship). Simplifying the requirements to a certain extent when you apply you would have to show that you have spent most of your time in the UK in the preceding five years before you apply.

| Kiron Junior Member Member # 2193 | Posted February 28, 2002 12:26 AM Dear Mr. Sanwar, As Salamualaikum. Thanks for your reply. Will appreciate if you please confirm my understanding. I have been in UK as a full time student for last 3 years along with my wife and a kid , who is also studing here. 1. If I stay here for next 4 years as a student, I can apply for ILR status. 2. Or If I change my status as WP holder after 4 year time I will be able to apply for ILR. **** Can I open a business office (IT based), and ask for WP here as well, please advice.
Thanks in advance for your kind help. Regards Kiron [ February 28, 2002: Message edited by: Kiron ] |
