I have applied for my Indefinite leave on the basis of 10 years rule. I have a student visa which expires in 2014. My 10 years were completed last december without any problem with the home office..Do i still need to go to college for studies as my application is still with home office.
Will my application be affected if College report me to the UKBA? Please reply to these questions.People who have gone through similar situations please post your comments.
@ Dik : He is not settled in Britain unless he is granted ILR. He has completed 10yrs lawful residence in UK but his application is still pending on decision and that means his previous visa terms and conditions still apply.
k77 : questions: 1. when did u apply your SET(M). 2. why do you want to quit.
3. My suggestion is why do want to risk for a short while (unless there is a good enough reason).
the school, college or Uni which u are enrolled will have to notify UKBA if you quit the course and then the question is weather you have enrolled in any other course or college within a set time frame.
and yes as DIK said you could take chances but consider if it is worth or not.
this is my opinion. and if there is any reference that DIK could provide to support his argument, then you can find yourself at the other side of the river.
IF not my advise would be to stick to it for a little while and you will be through this pain
