Hi,ladykg wrote:Hi I am new in this forum, but been reading the posts for quite a while and found this forum as very helpful and useful.
I would like to seek and advice before deciding whether I should stay and carry on or just leave the country. I know it's like 4 more years to go to be eligible to apply under "10 yrs long residency", but I'd like to plan ahead.
I landed in the UK in October 2006 as a student and been extending my stay in the same category until March 2010 when I got my PSW until March 2012. I had to leave the country on the last day of my visa expiry, as I couldn't get extension. I then applied for entry clearance as student in Tier4 category and entered UK on 27 June.
Does anyone know if the long residency duration has been broken with the gap of 3.5 months and re-entering the country in different category?
Would appreciate any advice and info.
My interpretation of the current law indicates your residency period has been broken as indicated on http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binaryladykg wrote:Thanks a lot for prompt response pokhreligautam. Yes, I left the country on the last day of my leave, which was 13 march and re-entered on 27 june, so it works out less than 180 days
