Hi experts, I have been issued an entry Clarence with HSMP on 23/05/2007 and I entered to UK for the first time on 15/07/2007 (less then 2 months after) when I had a few job interviews in the UK and returned back to my country in a few days after. (on 18/07/2007).I received a job offer while I was in my country and came back to UK and started to work as a full time employee on 25/09/2007 (aprx 2.5 months after I stayed in my country). Later years I have extended my HSMP visa with a Tier-1 visa on 23/05/2009 until 23/5/2012 when 5 years period will be completed.when can I apply for ILR ? what time will continuous period will start for my case ? Do I need to extend my stay first if I am not counted as eligable at the end of 5 years now ?
I have checked the forum and found a recent change to the rules: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary
It is written that if time gap between entry clearance and the first entry to UK is less then 3 months , it will be counted towards 5 years continuous period in the UK , which is a good change. However, as i wrote above I have another 2.5 months absence for the period that I was not started for work.Will it reset my continuous period ?
Thanks.
