WP then Tier 2. Shall I apply for ILR or PC at Sept 2011?

[emu]

I came in the UK at 2004 as student. After compliting my MSc I got workpermit for 5 years at Oct 2006 as IT System Engineer 2006. And I was entitled to get Permanent Residency at Oct 2011.

In the meantime, I have changed my employment and got Tier 2 visa at Sept 2009 which will expire on Sept 2012.

My question is:
Will I be effected by the new Earn Citizenship law which will implemented on July 2011?
Or
I will be able to apply for ILR at Oct 2011 according to the curent law?

Does anyome help me.

Q1 - Yes
Q2 - No

You may not be qualified in OCT 2011. Your 5 years residency period counted from the date your leave to remain in the capacity of Work Permit and not from the date of your Work permit approval.

Thank you senthil for your reply.
In this case I should not wait 4.5 years (1.5 years for completing 5 years + 3 years Provitionary citizen) to get the citizenship.

I heard that we are not allowen to claim public fund during Provitionary citizenship period. Is it true.

I have already got Australian PR. I am thinking to move Australia as soon as possible, leaving the dream of getting british citizenship spending more 4.5 years.

PM the OP or post your query in the appropriate section (Australia).

Not appropriate to hijack a topic with a query irrelevant to the on-going discussion, is it?
