My main problem is that I never registered for the WRS as it was never really required from me and by the time I found out I should be, in fact, registered, they have abolished the scheme. As I understand it, this precludes me from applying for PR as a worker, despite having worked PT most of my time here.
Taking this into consideration, I thought about applying as a EEA student (and then worker after the WRS ended). However, the rules state that in order to do this I would have to prove I had medical insurance and independent means of supporting myself throughout this time. I only had private medical insurance for a period of time (tho I was covered by the state medical system back home).
More imporantly, however, most of my living expenses were covered by working PT, which brings me back to the WRS. While as an EEU national studying in Scotland I didn't pay tuition fees and I got some support from my family, this would be hard to prove and not enough to cover living costs.
Do you think not being registered under WRS would affect my student application? (I think it's inevitable that lack of registration would come up)
Even if I get PR, could it then impact on the citizenship application? (they say breach of immigration rules at any point can lead to a refusal?)
