Am I eligible for ILR after four years based on HSMP(JR) ?

Hi

1. I applied for HSMP on 28-Nov-2005 from India.
2. I received refusal letter dated 04-April-2006 from Home Office.
3. I made appeal request on 22-April-2006 to review my HSMP application.
4. I received HSMP approval letter dated 25-May-2006 from Home Office.
5. I applied for Entry Clearance from India and got Entry Clearance to UK under HSMP for initial two years period from 31-July-2006 to 31-July-2008.
6. I searched for UK jobs from India and on receiving a firm job offer I entered UK on 28-Jan-2007.
7. I applied for visa extension at the end of my initial 2 year period in UK on 30-Jul-2008 and got Tier1 for another three years from 20-Aug-2008 to 20-Aug-2011.

I request you to please advise me if I will be eligible to apply for ILR in Jan-2011 after completion of my four years stay in UK based on HSMP (JR) and my original HSMP application date (28-Nov-2005) which was before 03-April-2006.

Thank you.

Regards,

Vijay

Yes, you are eligible to apply in Jan 2007 for ILR. My ILR was just granted with the initial HSMP application made but refused before 3rd April but review was successful after 3rd April.
