End of a long journey. Arrived in the UK in 2011 for my Masters Degree and switched to Post-study work visa in 2012. Tier 2 sponsorship in 2014 and ILR in 2019. This forum has been an immense help and never have had to pay a solicitor. Best of luck to everyone waiting a response from Home Office and a massive thank you to those who keep this forum running and providing very valuable guidance.
