Dear all,

Further to my recent post, I would be grateful if anyone can please provide an answer. My main concern is whether being on a tier 4 dependent visa makes me eligible via the 10 year route.

Thank you.

All visas count for ILR based on long residence, even visitor visas.

If you have no single absence of 180 days or more then you could have already applied in July, within 28 days before your 10 year anniversary of your date of arrival in the UK.

Thank you CR001 for the quick reply and answering my query.
