All, I was granted ILR in Feb this year. UKBA did not stick the visa on the passport, instead gave it on a separate sheet of paper, on the argument that there was no empty sheet in the passport, even though it had around 4 empty sheets. I was told to get the visa transferred to new passport booklet....

One thing that needs to be understood is that in UK you would need to sign a minimum of 6 month contract for rental. Which essentially means that you would have to stay there for atleast 6 months. Not sure how you decided upon Milton Keynes though unless you are sure of getting a job somewhere in vi...
