I think to complete 5 years of continuous stay, you will qualify on 03-Feb-2016. You are allowed to apply 28 days before your 5 year period completes. So you can make an application for ILR on or after 6th January 2016. I am assuming here that you came to UK within 90 days of your visa start date. I...
Hi, I am also in a similar situation. While booking, I put in a wrong date of birth. I did post on this forum but no one replied.

There have been many discussions around maintenance of funds for ILR and many memebers have posted success stories and said that maintenance of funds are not required. I even had a negative balance in my account in last 3 months and if it is not explicitly mentioned in the SET(0) form, why should I ...
H Vijay/Nikki, I am not 100% sure but I think it should not be a problem. You have to be economically active but that does not mean you have to work each and every day of these 5 years. Even I was without a job for around a month. I think the point is that you have to show that even if you were with...
