Dear Friend Sunrise,
Please see your words that
" If you are covered under HSMP JR then you don't need 5 years for settlement, its only 4!.
Assuming you are living in the UK at least 180 days for last 4 years, ILR shouldn't be a problem."
meaning of it is not clear and as per my study,observation and discuss with lawyer is that
1) when we received HSMP JR in 2008 and on base of that immediate entry.. our out of stay uk period was counted but for that we should stay continuous period after that. Which we did not
2) and for ILR it is must that we should not stay out of UK for more than 450 days in last 4 or 5 years
3) and we should not stay continuous 180 days out of UK. If we stay our period will start count from zero.
now we come to HSMP (JR) Document named as "Final 9 July 2008" please read it. Main point is
1) as per HSMP JR (9 July 2008)clause no. 51 we will diverted to clause no. 8 to 12 and as per clause 10 we can extend our stay if we not wish to settlement means we will get extension tell settlement as per hon. court judgement.
2) we are eligible to get same rights as all HSMP people get who got visa before Nov 2006.
3) now main point is we will get visa for 3 years in 2015 . it will be till 2018 but what after that?
4) it will break our rights and injustice to us.
5) read new rules in that it is clearly mentioned that Home office will think about remaining people who will not eligible for ILR so they may think something but after April 2015.
6) or as per rules we may get 3 years or more (means five years same time but what about ILR. HO says no ILR accept after 2018)
I have also one member with me he will join us and meanwhile send em email on
hsmpjrtier1@yahoo.com
we will share our contact no. and can discuss more
thanks
