Because you came in before April 3 2006, you obviously qualify for ILR after 4 years, if the UKBA remedies coming out soon decides to include WPians. If not you wait till mid May 2010.
I sincerely hope that they include it, which I am quite optimistic about, even though some of you WPians that this affect do not believe in yourselves that the outcome will be positive remedies from HO anyway (apologies, never intend to be rude).
Hope this helps?
Thanks a lot Iyanu for the reply. Even I am eager fot that decision and signed in the petetion. Even forwarded the link to many of friends, I know, who fall in the same category.
Otherwise, If I done leave UK till I apply, I may be completing my 5 years contiguous period with the exception of 6 months abscense by March 2010, if I show March 2010 to June 2010 as abscense with less than 90 continuous days.... and my date of entry from when the duration needs to be calculated as March 2004 (Question 6.1 of form Set(O))?
Or should I gamble with a 750£, applying now and going for an appeal, where in they will ask me to reapply after completion of abscense period? Asking this as I am not sure when the home office guys will change the rules again ..... and wanted to get into safe zone as early as possible....
