ILR

Post by ejobs_01 » Sat Dec 30, 2006 6:22 pm

Hello all,

I have a query vis-a-vis the route required to obtain ILR. I tried to obtain this information from all possible links but to no avail. Would a combination of WP and HSMP for the requisite 4/5 yrs be eligible for ILR or does one require a total term of WP or HSMP only.

I would be very thankful if someone could throw some light on this or provide some links.

Wish you all a very happy 2007.

Sincerely,
Top

The answer is yes. Can't find any links to back this up but the application form is here:

In a few years time we'll look back on immigration control like we look back on American prohibition in the thirties - futile and counter-productive.
