Thanks all, I think she came in to the country initially on a WP, later due to some problems that company had to close down and she had to return back to her country of origin, she i think was sent a P45 from her first company. She used the same WP Visa to get back into the country and then her new ...

Thanks,

I guess this is going to have an impact on many of us belong to non EU countries, who bring in our parents to stay with us as visitors for 6 months of the year

Thanks a lot

(wihtout these 5 points we both...

Hi John / olisun / and other senior members,

Can we conclude that the clock starts from the date the FLR was stamped on the passport even in the case of an in-country WP?

Any other members who have had an in-country WP and a successful ILR later, can you please share your experience.

Thanks
