10 YEARS ILR - CONTINUOUS

Post by GOODFRIENDS » Thu Apr 26, 2018 9:39 am

Hi Gurus,
please any advice and help from will be much appreciated.
I am looking at applying for ILR (10 Years) in a few months and just wanted to check if my dates of exits outside the UK are fine for my application.

Time line
Student visa -Sep 2008 - Oct 2011 ( 3 year Degree)
PSW - Nov 2011 – NOV 2013 (2 years )
Student Visa (MSc) Sep 2013 – Jan 2015 (1 year)
Student Visa (MSc) Mar 2015- Jan 2016 (extension) (1 year)


Left country 1st Jan 2016

Came back with a ‘6 months short term study visa’ for Project resubmission, graduation, Phd admission interview. (24 April 2016- 24 Sep 2016)

Came in Uk 15 Apr. 2016 - 16 Sep 2016

Left country 16 Sep 2016

Came back 17 Dec 2016 (PHD 3 YRS) -In UK Till Date

Since my first ever arrival, All visa application in the UK on time, I have not spent more than 180 days on BOTH time I left the country. I came in with a new FRESH visa on both occasions when coming back to the UK. Is coming back with fresh visa OK? Do I look good to apply for ILR (10 years) in the summer?

Thanks To the Gurus for helping me!

Follow the instructions on the form. If you have all your passports, very little other supporting documentation is needed.

You can apply any time within 28 days before 16th September 2018.

Hi

Another TIP: Go for the same day service, they will ask you question if they have any confusion about anything.

Thanks

No.

At my appointment, I wasn't asked for the copies. I had to remind her i had copies which she was happy to receive. But the only copies she took were for supporting documents; not the form.
