STUDENT VISA AND ILR EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED !!

Post by hanna » Wed Sep 19, 2007 10:29 pm

Hi,Im a student from non-eu country and have been studing in UK for a long time(7 years).I have 18 months to complete my last course and I would like to start working after that.I already have a diploma from my country, plus I completed another course in UK and have a diploma in BBA.But this is not the point, the point is that I would like to get ILR and it looks like the only way to it for me would be to wait 10 years and then apply.But 3 more years is a long time for me, is there any other way to get it sooner?

Well,how do I get the work permit?Is it not true that you have to spend here another 5 years before you can apply for ILR?

Look for a company that will sponsor you for a work permit. Or try HSMP. Once you have the 10 years legal residency in ANY legal capacity, you can apply for ILR.

I suggest you start job hunting! How long do you have left on your visa, and what course/level are you studying? Did any of your visas expire whilst you were outside the UK?
