20 years to qualify and 10 years settlement route consisting of 4 periods of 2.5 years Limited leave to remain followed by ILR.
Wonder whether there are any transitional arrangements for people who are completing their 14 year period in next few months?

Thanks for clarifying that Greenie.

Thanks sushdmehta. I have read the topic and i understand that fresh biometrics are required with each application.

Cash in hand payments mate!!

Yes she has been workin all this time. However I am not sure if this has been disclosed to the home office.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I think she will be refused on general grounds as she has not been to college for past year.

from what i understand if the cap's not reached for a particular month the remaining visas will be carried over to the next one. Its not the monthly cap its yearly. The reason number of visas issued are capped monthly is to allow better management of the cap. However, given the number of application...
