I'm a new member to this site, but previously I've come across a lot of useful information from a lot of informative members here. I'll come to the point.... I came to the Uk on a student visa in June 2006, by next year I wish to apply for my 10 year long residency (ILR). My details are as below:-
1) Entered the uk- 09.06.2006
2) Current visa Expiry date - 24.05.2016 (HSMP)
My Questions- 1) I am 16 days shot of my 10 years residence anniversary! How could I apply for my ILR ? Any possibility to extend my stay??
2) What are the basic documents required ? Apart from my passports, life in the uk pass and English language (uk Naric recognised qualification). Any other documents to make my case strong?
Please your feedback will be much appreciated. And for members who's visa was granted in line with 10 year long residence route, kindly share your detailed experience while your ILR was granted.
Thank you for your precious Time and hoping to hear some positive responses.
@adrianmark2k ..... You are eligible to apply 28 before ur qualifications date 09/06/2016
....Actually you don't need to worry you can apply any day after after 14/05/2016 ( I usually leave a day or two extra and apply )
Just get the required documents
1.Passports with stamps visa .
2. Biometric card if any
3.photos
4.cover letter (not mandatory)
5, English language test ( if you have not done Msc here in uk)
6. Life in uk
7. Kids birth certificate ( if they were born here to strengthen your application)
8. Fees
9. application form
10.photo copies of all documents
11. Royal mail first class return delivery envelope ( if you don't send this not an issue HO will post your documents in 2nd class post)
Any other documents if you would like to provide all P60's letter from your doctor confirming dates of registration, council tax letters ,or letter from employers confirming employment ,(all not mandatory but its your wish most of the members keep it simple by giving what HO needs
)
Good Luck
