Indefinite Leave to Remain: SET O form- Section 3

Post by defmute » Tue Aug 24, 2010 4:27 pm

All,
I'm due to apply for my ILR few weeks from now. I have worked 3yrs under the old work permit system ( my firm applied on my behalf) and 2yrs under the Tier1 Scheme.
Section 3 of the SET O form shows details of different categories under which one is required to be applying from.
How does it work for someone in my situation? do I tick the work permit holder box or the Tier 1 box or both?
Or better still tick the " other purposes or reasons " box and state my situation in the space provided below in the form?

Kindly assist.

Thanks in advance.

you are applying on completion of 5 years, you are now a tier 1 so you apply in that category. For ILR you have to have completed 5 years with most recent leave as tier 1, the remainder can be WP.

@Jammybunn

Thanks for the reply still not clear though.

I'm right in saying that I should tick the Tier1 box since my current leave is Tier 1? which is precisely what I had in mind.

What I dont get is your last statement ... " For ILR you have to have completed 5 years with most recent leave as tier 1, the remainder can be WP ".

Does it mean that ILR must be WP+Tier 1 rather than Tier1 +WP or Tier 2 as it is now?

It doesnt affect me in my situation because I had my WP prior before my Tier1 but for knowledge sake, it will be nice to know...

Ta.

You'll have no problem as your current leave is T1. Your total 5yr stay covers T1 (current) and WP (past).

Tick T1 in the form as this is your current visa
