Which expires next year..The question is when it expires ..Am I eligible to apply for settlement ? I will be 24yrs old then?i done my a levels en university here in th uk..My father was given ilr when I ws given the residence permit..h permanently resides here in th UK.iam not in contact with him thou..I live independently and I'm Wrkin as a nurse....Any advice on what I shud do wen this residence permit expires ?Do I qualify for settlement?i would be here for 8 yrs 3 months wen my residence permit expires.

why weren't you granted ILR alongside your father?

He applied under th 10yr rule ..instead of appyling based on his wrk permit.Initially he put my sista en I on his ILR application..but home office sent our passports back en told him tht he can't apply with dependants on tht form.They adviced him to use flr O form for my sister and I.

you will need to extend your leave on FLR(O) and apply for ILR under the 10 year long residence rule once you meet the requirements or after completing 6 years of DL, whichever is the earlier.
