there is nothing more you can do now and no one can tell you anything about the rules as no one knows what the rules will be in 6 months time, let alone 18 months time. if someone says something that is just pure speculation.eureka_ilr wrote:Dear All
I am expecting my ILR in Sep 2012 ? (I know its far off yet but I just want to be mentally prepared)
Please could someone (preferably seniors) have a quick look at list below.
I have/will have following :
a. P60 for the last 3 years and get 2 more in the next 2 years
b. Company accounts and personal accounts.
c. Hopefully I'll be economically active (as a Ltd CO contractor) 3 months before ILR
d. Life in the UK Test
e. Letter from accountant
Finally, I've heard that the rules may change in Apr 2011. Please could someone give a reasonable/substantiative take on that?
Please avoid unnecessary scare-mongering, as I've a feeble heart with it comes to immigration matters
cheers

It abolished Labour's "earned citizenship" which should have been implemented in July 2011 but I suspect it will introduce an even tougher regim for settlement.
However, we have to wait and see. I'm speculating just like anyone else . . .
Is it any standard practice to introduce changes in Immigration rules from April? Last time also, new rules for ILR came into effect from April 2006. Even now, the Annual Limit on Non-EU Economic Migrants would come into effect from April, although the consultation was over by November 2010.Backer wrote:Although the new government will probably introduce tougher rules it will take them time and I personally speculate they won't come into effect before July 2011 so those waiting to apply for ILR in the coming months or even more might ironically "benefit" from the change of government . . .
Backer, Yes, I got what you mean!! However, The Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act received Royal Assent on 21 July 2009 and was proposed to be implemented 2 years after. Again, hoping against hope with fingers crossed!! Otherwise, a further extension of TI(G) Visa (if that too is allowed on/after 6th April 2011!!) would be the only option left for people like me!!Backer wrote:Manas - Labour's "path to citizenship" was supposed to be introduced in July 2011 so that should answer your question
