DIK is right. 10 years ILR is all about a continuous 10 years of lawful residence. Case worker should not consider any events outside that time period. but bear in mind if the college reports him as a leaver before the ILR approval date then he will have problem gaining Citizenship one year after as...

I'm sure he doesn't have to be pursuing his course to remain legal once he has completed 10 years lawful residence. the home office will only take into account matters which were apertaining 10 years immediately preceeding his application. The home office cannot by law take into account his complia...

I enrolled for bio metric on 3rd December 2012 and now waiting patiently. please check on skydrive for 10 years where you ...

Thanks again Graceford. Just a curiosity.Some people apply through solicitors (firms) who are not OISC registered(you know there is a space to write OISC regi no in the SET O form.Is it ok if such a solicitor(non oisc) represent the application even though my case is quite straight forward.

Good day, I have reached 10 years staying in the U.K. under student visa. In 2010, my student application was rejected by Home Office due to a change in immigration rules on or after 22nd Feb 2010.

For example in 2005, I had a immigration stamp on my passport on the 13.4.05 for returning to the UK but I didn't have any proof such as air ticket or immigration stamp to show the date of left the country.

you can apply for ILR on 19th march 2015 onwards but your wife & son won't be eligible to apply at the same time as you , they can apply 28 days before the 10th anniversary of their first entry to the UK.

Thansk for your reply, grace .I have read in case worker notes on ukba site that states that the gap will count from the date the visa expires to the date at which the next visa is issued. section 3c extends your stay from the date of application so the date of decision is irrelevant to assess the ...
