Start Date (visa category) for 10-Yr Long Residence Qualifying Period
Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2020 2:54 pm
Hi Experts,
I first entered UK on 16-Feb-2010 on a Business Visa for 3 weeks. I later re-entered UK in the same year on a T2 ICT visa on 23-May-2010 and have had continuous extensions with the same employer since then from within UK.
Assuming I meet all other criteria for the 10-yr Long Residence ILR this year, what would be considered as my start date for the qualifying 10 year period? Can I consider the entry point on Business Visa in Feb-2010 as the start point or is that an invalid visa category for calculating the qualifying period?
Thanks
