Hi everyone,
Need urgent help please;
In 01/10/2005 I came to UK on Student visa valid till 01/01/07
then I applied for renewal, They gave me Resident permit as Limited leave to remain from 01/02/07 ----> 01/10/08 (1 year and 8 months)
I then applied for IGS from 01/02/08 ----> 01/02/09
then as Tier 1 Post study work from 01/10/09 --> 01/10/10
then as Tier 1 General from 01/03/10 --> 01/03/13 (3 years)
then as Tier 2 General from 01/03/13 --> 01/03/16

I am not sure if I can apply for ILR, My home passport will expire on January 2014 and I will not be able to renew it (wanted back home as opposition)

What should I do?

Sorry, why can you not renew your passport here? Are you saying your family doesn't want you to stay in the UK? It would be a shame to throw away the time you've spent in the UK.

NO. the embassy has closed in UK, no other way to renew my passport, my current goverment refused to renew it. and there is a high risk on my life to go back home and renew it...

The UKBA should understand this and hopefully by the time you're eligible for ILR you can renew your passport here.

Forgive me !! but on which bases you u said I am eligible? how can I renew my passport and the embassy closed? and do I have to write to UKBA first or just submit the ILR form with my documents??

Whether as a long residence applicant or PBS applicant, in the future.

In these circumstances normally the consulates/embassies in nearest neighouring countries through secure mail system perform that task. I am sure there must be arrangements which you can inquire about.

Zoz, if you intend to travel internationally you might be eligible to apply for a Certificate of Travel.

In any case, don't worry if you have no "in-date" passport when you apply for your ILR. But it might assist if you can provide proof of the inability to get a new passport.
