Currently, I am in the UK on Tier 1 work-permit, that expires in 2014.
I first came to the UK on 8th September 2002 on student visa. I kept extending my student-visa while being in the UK as I did multiple courses. When I finished my course, I left the UK on 27th October 2008 (then the student visa was valid until 31th October 2009).
While in India, I got another entry-clearance visa (Post-Study Tier 1 visa) on 3rd March 2009 and then I came back to the UK to work on 20th March 2009.
Please suggest? Has the 10 years’ continuous lawful residence been broken in that case? If so, why?
I hope, not.
