10 Year ILR with 1 year study leave as a part of UK degree

[nikolayspas]

Hi,

I have a got a question in regards to application for indefinite leave based on long residence (10 years).

I have came to UK in 2003 as a student and had the following visas without any breaks in them.

2003-2005 Student Visa
2005-2006 Student Visa
2006-2007 Engineering Graduate something visa
2007-2009 Student Visa
2009-2011 Post Study Work Visa
2011-Present Tier 2 General Work permit.

I had very few abscences – occasional holidays never more then 2-3 weeks a year. The only one major absence for me was a 1 year absence in 2008-2009.

I was a student at Heriott-Watt University in Edinburgh doing mspme.org course, which required me to spend 6 months in Italy and 6 month in Sweden before I could graduate from Heriott-Watt. This course is sponsored by European Commision and is part of Erasmus Mundus. Heriott-Watt was a coordinating institution in this case, and my UK visa covered me all the way until my graduation.

In this situation in order to finish my UK degree I had to travel and study abroad.

So my question is: Has anybody had applied with similar circumstances? What was the outcome? Is there anyone I can contact to clarify it?

Regards

This topic is more than 3 years old and the member has not come back to update whether ILR was applied for or granted. Rather than digging up old threads and tagging a generic post onto another members topic, suggest start your own topic with your immigration history etc.
