| Thorsten von Thyssen Member Member # 4397 | Posted November 20, 2002 09:35 AM Yes, ILR by concession. You have to prove that you have spent a continuous 14 years in the UK (by showing bank statements, utility bills ...). -------------------- ----------------------------------- |
| Kayalami Member Member # 5984 | Posted November 20, 2002 11:11 AM 14 yr policy is a concession outside Immigration Rules. Major challenge for this category is that you: 1. Did not actively intend to be illegal/ circumvent the immigration rules by delaying removal proceedings, conducting a marriage of convenience etc - I don't know how you prove this!! 2. No criminal record - Crucial. Go to Home Office link below for more details - I suggest you get good legal advice (might be expensive) http://194.203.40.90/default.asp?PageId=752 If the HO accept your reasons you get Indefinite Leave To Remain. Conditions pertaining to citizenship require legal stay in the country for a minimum qualifying period of 3 years if married to a UK citizen and 5 years if not so you will have to accumulate the pre-requisite legal stay before making the application - focus on the ILR first!!!
