10 years long residency

[angelloveguy]

Hello

My friend is here for almost 10 years and his Tier 1 general visa is going to expire 38 days before his 10 years long residency. he is here with 3 kids and wife so if he will go for a Tier 1 extension it will cost him fortune.

Is there anyway he can apply for his 10 years long residency?

Make an application to extend by post and then vary that to SET(O) after 10 days. If you don't know what I am referring to then you won't be able to help your friend, and it would be better if he had a professional make this process.
