Hi folks,
Thanks for all the help I have received over time in answering my visa related queries.
I have a new query this time: I landed in UK on the 31st of March 2014. As per the default rules, I would become eligible for ILR at around 31st March 2019 (5 yrs for Tier 2 general).
*But*, I have heard that there is a change of rule already in place related to ILR wherein anyone who has not applied for ILR before 2019 won't be granted the ILR. This is a bit concerning for my planning so wanted to clarify a few things.
Is this true? If yes, could someone please post the link to this official statement? Also, if that's the case, is there any other way I can get an ILR (and subsequently a passport)?
Thanks for your time.
