6 years ILR implications

a12345 · Post by **a12345** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:55 am

Hi,

i transferred my self to tier 1 visa after completing 1 year on WP in 2008. I was given initial 3 years tier 1 visa which will expire 2012, and while applying for extension it will be given until 2014. With the current rule extension will stretch my stay beyond one year my ILR eligibility

BUT situation will be tricky if rules are changed to 6 years for ILR : (

I am wondering if I apply 2 months in advance of my visa expiry in 2012 then will I be able to to apply for ILR as they will stamp the visa for two years and I might fall short by a couple of months for ILR eligibility - please help me solve this riddle as if ILR eligibility is changed to 6 years then this could mean I will have to get the extension just to cover a couple of months shortfall!!!!

thanks.

How can anyone advise you on this when the changes you refer to have not even been announced yet?

No one's even talking about a 6 year ILR. If that is ever announced, you'll know well in advance and it will be vigorously debated before it becomes law.

If it happens you won't be able to control it anyway - so why worry about it ?

No one yet knows the ILR rules for 2015 or 2016.
No one yet knows the Tier 1 extension rules for 2012.

Have you ever thought about how many extensions you will need if they change the stay to 7 or 8 years? Guess u should plan for that too!
