I guess you'll have to leave it blank.mrlookforward wrote:It asks "Enter the day you first arrived with a view to staying in the UK on a long-term basis"
So what date should be mentioned by a person, who entered on a visit visa, had no intention to settle in UK for short term or long term, and then after years ended up with an ILR ?

I originally came to the UK as a working holiday maker and was subsequently sponsored and moved to a work permit. As such my passport was stamped with the work permit by the work permits uk office in Sheffield. I never left the country during the process.
My question is what do I fill in on the form? Do I put Sheffield and the date of issue?
Thanks for you Help.
I thought you knew all the answersmrlookforward wrote:I am in the same boat, and confused what date to put when I apply for naturalisation. When I arrived in UK, it was a study visit, and I had no intention of staying in UK long term. But then the ball started rolling, one thing after another. After nearly 11 years I was granted ILR. So I do not know what date to put there. But then, in citizenship matters, there wont be any case law to clarify as to what can be regarded as "when you arrived in UK to live long term and settle". So if I do not get a very clear answer from a learned member, I will just put the date of my first arrival in UK. After all, UKBA has all my immigration history at the click of a button.
