I presume that no one has got through based upon the very clearly worded correspondence that I have received from the Home Office on this specific issue. However I reserve the right to be wrong. If any WP/HSMP/AV can hold his/her hand up and legitimately and honestly say that he/she received ILR after lodging an application based on four years' residence since, say, June 2006, I'd love to hear about it.

Obviously this has changed now so that I can only apply for ILR after 4 years and 11 months. What I don't understand is why the .gov changed the rules retroactively.
Well, if they randomly change rules (that too with retroactive effect), they can (and should) be taken to court. Government, Home Office etc. are just a bunch of people like you and me, not some amorphous god-like entity that has to be bowed to.JAJ wrote:Because they felt like it.
They can do what they like provided it is authorised under the Immigration Act 1971.global gypsy wrote:Well, if they randomly change rules (that too with retroactive effect), they can (and should) be taken to court.
