ILR includes business visa?

Post by dblore123 » Thu Feb 28, 2008 7:00 am

Hi,
I came to UK initially on Business Visa and this was then converted to Workpermit. This was done in UK itself while I was in UK.

So in the calculation of 4year 11 months, will the initial few months in which I was on business visa will also be considered or is it only from work permit visa.

Kindly give your expert advice. Where can I get this information, any contact number to get in touch with official?

Thanks a Lot in advance

Stay on business visa does not count towards ILR qualifying period.

Yes that is correct the clock would have started with you recieving your work permit.

So 5 years from the 1st date stamped on your Work permit.
