I've just called workpermits.com to arrange an appointment for consultation. I have not be treated like this on the phone for a long time! The person who answered the phone asked me the subject of the consultation (I explained - obtaining ILR under HSMP) and then repeatedly told me "there will be no use in the consultation unless you have been here under HSMP for four years"). I am still two years short of that and as I consider different career opportunitites for the next two years I wanted to obtain a professional opinion on how these different options will impact on my chances of getting ILR in two years time.Cosmopol wrote:Have you checked under "Contact Us" section on the main workpermit.com page?
Well before knowing what my current choices are it is difficult to tell isnt it??? some of them involve frequent and prolonged absences abroad, for eg.your career choice is irrelevant
Do you happen to know what they are? I would love to see them in black and white, I have searched the IND site for some time but could not find "the criteria for granting ILR"!! (only application form is available). I also posted this question on this site but got no reply so far. Can you help?eeckard wrote:In my opinion the rules for granting ILR are very much black and white. Yes there are a few grey areas but few and far between.
