Its because i got the wrong information from the HO. I phoned about them 3 times and emailed them in March last yer to clarify which date to use and they advised that a work permit starts when I start employment! Just like my interviewer thought but his supervisor was clued up and i felt a embrassed for him really because the way she corrected him was like "its so obvious. The immigration are clear that...." lol. If you phone the HO for advise you'll always get different answers most of them wrong or misleading. its only when I found this site that I found i could have applied last March before 4-5yrs change. Anyway at least I avoided paying £950 for the privilege!tvt wrote:Congratulations.
I just wonder why didn't you apply for ILR last year after 4 years on WP as your WP leave to enter stamp is from April 2002.
True. Sam the employer's letter had start date in it. It shouldnt matter because it should be the date when you for leave to remain/enter for 5 years as work permit holder that counts. Otherwise there is always a gap between issue of work permit/stamp and actually starting the job. I think all this stuff is computerised anyway and they can check your work start date easily if they really really want to know. Your employer is just one phone call away LOL.Docterror wrote:movado wrote:Next year Naturalisation!..and instead end up paying 575 pounds for the naturalisation... while you could have done it for 200 pounds if you got the ILR last year!
