Dcoument confirmation for ILR

[RajSuryawanshi]

Hello
I have completed 5 years on Tier2+skilled worker route. My visa is getting expired next year in Oct 2024. Can someone please confirm if I am eligible to apply for ILR or Do I need to apply only before 28days my current visa expires?

Visa expiry has nothing to do with ILR. You qualify for ILR within 28 days of completing 5 years of having valid skilled worker visas.

Thank you @AmazonianX and @zimba .

I am applying for myself now as my family will be eligible next year. Do I need to mention anything in cover letter to explain about it? Can someone confirm?

[zimba]

You do not need a cover letter. There is nothing wrong with applying on your own

Thank you.

While filling form there is question I am confused with.

Have you previously lived in a country outside the UK including your country of birth?

Is this question about in last 5 years or since birth. I have lived outside India but also had been come UK and went back couple of times as well before I stay continuously 5 years.

I mean I was in UK first time between 2008-2009 then 2010-Apr 2013. However after Dec 2013 I am continuously leaving in UK. Do I need to mention my stay in India since birth and as well as in between 2009-2010.

Hi Raj, Could you please confirm if they are asking you to submit any residency proof (like tenancy agreement or utility bills) for the whole past 5 years?

If you could provide the list of documents they are asking, that would be great help to me.
