Hi Guys, Come to update my news. I finally got my passport with ILR back yesterday! ILR was issued at early March, but only received it after a month time.

Switches outside the UK may be considered as breaking the continuity of Long Residence (2.1.3). If it affects you, try to get written confirmation of their policy beforehand. Thanks everybody.

I've been holding a student visa for 9 years and am thinking of applying for ILR under the 10 years long residency. However, I am thinking of switching to a dependent visa.
