Assuming the goal posts aren't moved again I will be applying for ILR next year.
I entered the UK on a working holiday visa in April 2006. Under this I was eligible to work for 12 months in a two year period.
I made an in-country application for a tier 1 visa which was approved March 7 2007. I had assumed that my status had automatically switched upon issue but I have read on this newsgroup that I needed to leave and re-enter for my status to be updated.
I did not leave the UK for many months after the issuing of my Tier 1 visa so I am confused about my status, and as a result, when I would be able to apply for ILR.
If it is true that my status did not update automatically then for any time I remained in UK working between April 2007 and before re-entry, I would have been working illegally. This is because a working holiday maker was permitted to work for a maximum of 12 months.
However I can't fathom that by remaining in the United Kingdom with valid visas I would not have immigration status.
Could somebody advise when I would be eligible to apply for ILR?
