ILR Set (LR) or Set (M)

Post by Somi47 » Wed Dec 06, 2023 8:57 pm

Hi all, just wanted some confirmation about my circumstances for ILR application. I have been in UK for over 10 years now since Sept 2013, under various visas.

I am currently on my extended spouse visa (5 year route) and should be able to apply under ILR Set (M) in Feb 2025.

But just wondering given that I have been in UK for over 10 years now, would I qualify to apply sooner under ILR Set (LR) instead?

I am just confused because I was told that when I switched over from my Tier 2 (general) work visa to my spouse visa that my qualifying time would reset?

The following are the visas I held for more clarification

1. Tier 4 (General) Student ( 05/09/2013 - 02/10/2017)
2. Tier 2 (General) (08/09/2017 - 14/08/2020)
3. Spouse - 5 year route (28/02/2020 - 28/08/2022)
4. Extended Spouse - 5 year route (22/08/2022 - 22/02/2025)

Many thanks in advance for any advice or comments.

Yes, you can apply for ILR LR if you meet all the requirements.

Don't believe everything people tell you.

The following are the visas I held for more clarification

1. Tier 4 (General) Student ( 05/09/2013 - 02/10/2017)
2. Tier 2 (General) (08/09/2017 - 14/08/2020)
