can i apply for ILR

Post by anuje » Tue Jun 17, 2008 9:20 pm

Hi,
My work permit and leave to reamin is expiring 2 weeks before i complete 5 Years in uk in 2009. Can i still apply for ILR or do i need to ask my employer to sponsor me for Tier 2 and then apply for ILR. I will be very grateful if someone can guide me.
Thanks
anuj

you can apply 28 days before it expires but it is a risk

The time spent under visitor visa is not counted towards the 5 year stay for ILR. You can apply for ILR 28 days in advance of completion of your 5 year stay in UK starting from the date of your first entry into UK on your valid work permit.
