ILR Eligibility

[sumarayne]

Hi, I came to the UK on a student visa in December 2005 and completed my studies by July 2007. I was employed to start September 2007 and my head teacher applied for my work permit in October 2007.No news was received and my heateacher decided to write to the WP office in Sheffield to find out why. A response finally came to say that the application was missing however,after a long conversations and emails the application was sent to a different office in error. It was retrieved,processed and stamped on November 2008 I have worked then and want to know when I am eligible to apply for the Indefinite Leave to Remain. Regards,

Hi there,
I would like some clarification on the new English Requirement taking effect on 28th October 2013. I was issued a work permit in November 2008 after completing a PGCE programme here in the UK and have worked with the same school till date.
Also,before the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) requires that Numeracy,Literacy and ICT tests must be passed to be awarded. Will I be required to take a test again or my qualification here would be adequate? My appointment with the Home Office is 7th November 2013. Your comments would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

If you met a B1 requirement for EC that should suffice in addition to LIUK for settlement.
