Please refrain from typing in CAPITALS as it gives the impression that you are shouting.

After you received your approval letter for your second WP did you apply for FLR?

[arhangelsk]

thank you for THE reply OLISUN ,i am not shouting
what is FLR

[olisun]

thank you for THE reply OLISUN ,i am not shouting
what is FLR

FLR = Further leave to remain.

After you get your WP approval you have to apply for FLR.. Having a WP approval letter doesn't mean you can continue to stay and work in the UK for the 60 months from the date of WP approval.

Do you have a stamp on your passport for the second WP?

What is not clear from the OP's post is that the WP was approved for 60 months and the visa was issued from December 2004 till December 2006, for 2yrs only.

The OP was granted a 24-month FLR for the first WP. The second WP although was for 60 months, had his/her FLR varied for 2 years (Funny enough it is called variation of Leave to Remain). I guess the HO can use their discretion to vary leave as they deem it fit and it is within their legal rights I bet. The usual is 5 years LTR/FLR but there are no guarantees if they have their doubts or the CW is not in a good mood

I think the OP should be fine when applying for ILR considering he got another visa after December 2006

i enourmously grateful for all your responses, what can i do in order to be sure if i am ok or not for ILR PLEASE HELP
