You're qualified to apply for ILR by virtue of your marriage and WP.Wjeffs1979 wrote:Hi,
I realise you must have been asked this numerous times and i apologies in advance but could not find on previous posts.
I am Currently on a 5yr work permit and my entry clearance is valid from 30/11/2005 - 30/11/2010.
I entered the UK on 06/12/05
My questions now i am now looking to apply for my ILR or plan to.
a. When should i apply
B. is my 5yrs requirement Valid as it will be 6 days short? is the 6 days disregarded or do i need to apply for an extension.
C. My entry clearance is currently in my old expired passport and i currently carry both my expired passport with the entry clearance in and my new valid passport, would this be acceptable when i apply for ILR or do i need to get the entry clearance transfered first?(This would seem pointless to me.)
D. how do i calculate the exact dates of being out of the country if the dates are not clear on the stamps?
Thanks for your help in advance.
just to confuse, i am also currently married to a british citizen and have been since 06/06/2007...would this help or hinder my application? or should i be applying in a different way?
Cheers
Weston
I have looked at it again...I kind of misread his post. You're right..post has been edited. Thanks for pointing it out.f2k wrote:Yes ILR is a pre-requisite for naturalisation. The difference is that if you are married to a British at the time of applying you only need to have it, there is no time requirement. So in reality you can come from the the PEO with your brand new ILR stamp and head straight to the post office or NCS office to post your naturalisation application as long as you have been in the counttry legally for 3 years prior to the date of application. for not married to BC then the 1 year minimum kicks in.

@kindley, i think you are confusing ILR with naturalisation
You're right, as you've just pointed out, you were married in 2008.Wjeffs1979 wrote:Hi,
i'm not qualified to apply for Set(m) as i have not been on a spousal visa, i only qualify for set(o) on my Work permit.
Apologies, was married in 2008 not 2007. But still not been on the spousal visa.
Cheers

Well he will be, But not until 08.11.10. And only then if the Life in the UK Citizenship test has been passed.you are qualified to apply on form SET(O).
The date of entry is the one that you use for your calculation and you can apply 28 days before your 5year anniversary (07 May 2010).amreenmalik wrote:Hi everybody,
I got my 5 year WP entry clearance on 14/04/2005.
And arrived into the U.K on 07/05/2005.
Can I apply for ILR with this visa or should I go for an extension.

In simple words, you can apply for ILR on / after 09 Apr 2010 (provided you fulfil the residency requirements amongst others).

Yes, I meant fulfilling other requirements to be eligible for ILR (not just completing 5 years, which is just 1 of many).amreenmalik wrote: Could you please advise so that I can check myself.
