Hi team, I have been diagnosed for Type 2 Diabetes and told that I’m eligible for prescription charge exemption. I am on skilled worker visa and will be eligible for ILR in 10 years route and 5 years route shortly. Is this exemption considered as a benefit or can I claim free medicines as I do not w...
Hi Team, another confusion please on 10 year route. As per the page - https://www.gov.uk/long-residence/eligibility I can see the below, is it not contradictory to case worker guidance? If your time abroad began before 11 April 2024 During the 10-year qualifying period, you do not have continuous re...
Breaking continuous residence CR 4.1. An applicant’s continuous residence period will be broken if any of the following apply: (d) the applicant does not currently have, or did not have, permission, unless : ( iii ) the application is under Appendix Long Residence , and the applicant had permission...
Thanks Zimba. I did, however in the example 2, there is no mention about when the applicant applied for new visa - within expiry of the previous visa or within 28 days of expiry. Hence the confusion.
Thanks for the response @Zimba. Could you please help me to understand why it is not applicable for long residence route please? I see this reference in almost all documents. Another example: source: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66277546d29479e036a7e545/Continuous+residence.pdf#pag...
Hi team, while going through the below guidance I’m little confused. Considering my situation as mentioned above - every time I leave UK though I had valid visa, I come back to UK with new visa that was applied after few months of expiry of previous visa. Does it break my continuous residence ? Just...
Hi Team, As confirmed in my previous post, I will be eligible for ILR in March 2025 under 10 years route considering the below history (please note every time I leave country, I had valid visa due to expire soon, and had to get new visa from India and come back) . There was a confusion with statemen...
Thank you. I was told that if we leave out of country and come back to UK in different visa (as the previous one expired and new visa is obtained), this will not be counted for 10 years route. Is this correct information? Hence the confusion.
Thank you both. So to summarise, if I apply for ILR through 5 years Route from Skilled Worker in Nov 2026, wife and child to extend Skilled Worker Dependent (another 3 years) in Nov 2026 (though I’m im applying for ILR) and they can apply for ILR in Sep 2027 (after completing 5 years). If I apply IL...
Thanks for the response. Sorry for the confusion. On 5 years route, I will be eligible for ILR only on Nov 2026. Wife and Child will be switching to my dependent visa from Sep 2022. So, they both will be eligible for ILR only on Sep 2027. I have some confusions on 10 years route and I have posted an...
Thank you so much for the reply. So when the father switches to ILR, Mother and child extends the Skilled Worker Dependent Visa (though father switches to ILR). If the visa type changes for Mother and Child then then the 5 year clock will reset to zero. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi team, could you please help me with a confusion please? For a child to apply ILR, both parents should have got ILR (or applying for ILR along with child) or child is eligible as soon as one of the parent is applying for ILR or already got ILR? Child is born in India and currently on dependent (no...
Hi there, I'm currently on Skilled worked visa from Nov 2021. This means that I will be eligible for ILR only on Nov 2026 in 5 years route. However I have had combination on ICT and Dependent Visa since Mar 2015 as below. Point to note is, I had to leave UK, go back to India, obtain new visa and tra...
