Dear Gurus, legal experts & forum members,
I would like to thank you for the help & support you gave me last year. It has been more than a year now since I posted here. I will briefly update you on my status and ask for your views as well.
Last year, although the work permit department in Sheffield confirmed my eligibility for switching, I decided to leave the country and apply for the visa from abroad due to time restrictions (Workpermit case worker said I might not receive it before 1/Jan if I apply from within the UK). I was granted my visa abroad and returned to the country around mid to end of December last year (07) and started my new job on the 1/Jan/08 and I'm working there since.
Now as my wife has taken the oath recently and became British. How would my situation change? Would I be able to apply for ILR or Naturalisation soon? Would I be able to switch without leaving the country?
I don't want to overwhelm you with details but I mentioned in my earlier posts that we have been living together since Jan 2005 (Initially we had our two addresses in the same city but eventually kept one of them around August 2005), we got married in the US on February 2007 and we are still together since.
Note: For the sake of keeping this post short, I decided not to repeat previous details that could appear irrelevant here. If you have need any clarification, could you please ask me or refer back to my first or subsequent posts on this thread.http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... highlight=
I really appreciate your urgent help and advice again.
Many thanks.
All the very best,
M.K.
