What is your source of information? Its not true, it clearly says in guidence notes as long as its law full stay it doesnt matter which category your stay is in, so OP should be okSiggi wrote:No, your case is not complex and no, I don't think you can apply for ILR base on long residencey.
Reason, being you probably received your visa based on parents Diplomatic status and this will not count toward long residentcy.
Sorry for a bit of bad news.
From where did you get all these 'theory of yours'?Siggi wrote:This is clearly abuse of diplomatic privilege, the op received his Visa because his/her parents are diplomats .
If you look closer at the law you will find the visiting foreign troops and diplomats don't qualify for nationality based on either birth or long stay.
In conclusion I beleive that once, the HO looks at this case in detail it will be refused.
.diplomats don't qualify for nationality based on either birth or long stay
Perhaps you shouldn't have posted anything until you had it to hand.Siggi wrote:Guys hold on to your horses, whilst I have not found the ruling yet I will.
It is counted as 'residence' in terms of the LR Criteria and as far as I know (IMHO) if you are applying for naturalisation, and say, your first 6 months stay in the UK was on a VV prior to say changing to spousal or whatever category, your VV stay would be counted as lawful so long as the ILR or 'Ppron' Method as been met. The spirit of the legislation or the rule is on lawful residency and not which visa you had at the time of application to qualify for this.Wanderer wrote:I must admit I thought I'd read Diplomatic stay didn't count but I dunno where I saw it.
Funny tho the term used is long 'residence' and a visitor visa counts towards it. Is a VV 'residence'?
Do you have evidence that you were out of the country for a long time (apart from the entry stamp in the country you visited? Do you have a copy of your ticket or proof of purchase or luggage tags?)?iceman010899 wrote:hey
wow look at all these replies. thanks people ! HO says its possible as long as the gaps are minimum.
I am worried about the fact that in 2003 my passport was not stamped when I came back from holiday. Arent they supposed to stamp it. Would HO have info on when you came back into the country ? Can this effect the gaps ?
Do they keep landing cards from 1998 ?
Thanks dudes.
I did check my facts, before I posted. I checked the Long REsidence IDI. Which states:Siggi wrote:Guys hold on to your horses, whilst I have not found the ruling yet I will.
Diplomats and visiting armed forces are govorned by a different set of rules.
If what I'm stating is rubish, then ever child born in the UK of a dilpomat or visiting soldiers would be British, further more like the case of the op a child of a diplomat becomes British after a lenghty stay in the UK.
Check your fact!!!
It doesn't matter whether it is Amanda, myself or Mym: Please post when you know the answer for sure, if not sure just tell the board this is your guess or as appropriate use 'IMHO'.Siggi wrote:When I asked people to check there facts, I did not mean you specifically Amanda!
However this one still doe'nt really make for a fair immigration policy.
It just seems to be total Diplomatic privilege abuse.
