If you read all the posts in this thread then it will be very clear.

"The OP has got a WP and he does not have any stamp on his passport..."

So my question is can you hold a WP without a stamp (FLR in this case) in the passport?

Ok but that has nothing to do with the simple calculation of what is his 5 year period

Yes you are right... We should only try to answer the OP's original question and not help him out IF he has made a mistake of not applying for a FLR.

Thank you for correcting me...

If you switched status in-country you should either have a Leave To Remain stamp in your passport or a letter called "ICD 0358" granting you Leave to Remain in the UK. The relevant date is the date you switched you immigration status (Leave to Remain) to Work Permit not the date of the work permit.

Yeah smart mule, if he wants to ask a question with flimsy info, not going to go beyond the question.
If I have a point to make I would explain why its important like how tvt made the point.
Again you can speculate till the cows come home, he might have it, you don't know

TVT thanks- I checked my passport and i have stamps on my passport and i did not have any other stamps, even on my work permit letter. I suppose the stamp should be so called' endosement' and i wonder if anyone know the date on the passport should be date to start caculation? thanks

so let me get this straight... you have a student stamp in your passport. you have a letter granting you a WP. you DO NOT have a FLR(Work Permit) stamp in your passport?

firstime · Post by **firstime** » Wed May 09, 2007 9:53 am

I have a student visa, a work permit letter and another stamp ( suppose this is the FLR you mentioned) on my passport...

meggles · Post by **meggles** » Wed May 09, 2007 10:04 am

thanks for clarifying... i was a bit scared that you had the WP letter but not the FLR(WP). that would be an issue.

SYH, there is no reason at all to resort to name calling and to appear so irritable in the posts that you make. If you have any opinions pls put it down in a manner that is not disruptive to the general flow of the good-will attitude in the board. People are free to ask and speculate as much as they want as long as it is not in the tone that you exhibit, in the same way you are free to ignore the speculation. But posting with the general tone of trying to get people to lowering themselves into retaliating with similar tone or name-calling will not only make this a terrible place to be in with a lot of the meeker and knowledgable ones holding back any suggestions that they may have with the fear of having to encounter someone like you. So, it will be appreciated if you will tone down your tone a bit.

My apologies to the OP for going off-topic.

Excuse me doc terror
if you look at the previous post
his tone was one of dripping dry sarcasm
so i tried to lighten it up with a quick retort
sorry you didn't get it and just evaluated in a really simple minded manner but it wasn't at all as you viewed it
I am sure you can view my point of saying simple mnded consdescending too so it is going to be a no win scenario for me
but as you aren't the morality police
I think you should give it a break yourself

Firstly, there is nothing quick about retorting with a name-calling assuming that olisun was indeed being sarcastic. It is just petty and shows a lack of ability to coming up with smart reply above any other abiltiy of yours.

Nice to hear that calibre of argument after so long. Quite reminiscent of my 4th grade as I have never heard it since. Is that also a quick retort in your dictionary?

Don't know whether to tell you to lighten up... or grow up!

Nevertheless, the decision to improve is yours, if you plan to heed the advice.

SYH or whatever you are called, 90% of your posts on any topic is agressively offensive, you must learn to be polite.

SYH · Post by **SYH** » Fri May 11, 2007 8:49 pm

Papafaith, that is pretty righteous of you

Papafaith · Post by **Papafaith** » Fri May 11, 2007 8:51 pm

Thank you SYH, just grow up, you are too agressive and you are easily irritated.
