Canbks11: I wish I was told what other evidence I could provide. They said I have already provided everything. They did mention that senior case worker might decide that I will be eligible again in 3 mths time to apply for ILR but I will have to apply again and pay the 2025 pounds fees again, which ...

Many thanks for your response emarketeruk.

I wish I knew this before and would have perhaps applied in post, although sending passport away for 6 months wud have been difficult as I do have to travel for work time to time.

Good luck with your application.

I had excatly the same question but didn't pose that question that time thinking it might only make things worse for me. This whole thing is confusing. I guess for me the only option is now to wait until I get my letter. But if anyone has any suggestions on what else I can do in this period would re...

My tier 1 expires in May next year. I was eligible for ILR on 6th April 2011 this year.

Thanks for your views. The caseworked said my application is refused by her manager so at their level it is refused. It is being sent to Senior case worker. They said he would decide is if I can apply again in 3 months time or will my timing be reset again from 2008 so I am elibible for ILR onlyin M...

The issue is caseworkers did not even mentione...
