ffor LIUK you may use an expired passport or a valid UK driving licence, among other things.

yes you may apply for long res ILR provided you meet the requirements, and the period awaiting appeal (section 3C leave) can count towards the 10 year period.

but why was your previous application refused? that could influence your long res ILR.

thank you for your reply .. i don't have an expired passport as well as driving licence , that is my big problem . My tier 1 general visa is refused due to my working hours doesn't match with my salary , this is my employer little mistake .. not a big thing . my appeal date is in march but i would like to go for my 10 years one .. how can i do that without having any id ?

please suggest me .. i appreciated .

Wpilr_nov12 .. could you please one thing give me advice ..

do you think is the good idea i withdraw my tier 2 application and apply for ILR .. ?

if you think that it will be fine .. i think i will better do like that .

please let me know .

many many thanks. miracle

you dont have a t2 application. instead you have an outstanding appeal against the refusal of your previous t2 application.

if your appeal was successful, when would you qualify for ilr via t2? you may include the 3c days towards 5 yrs count.
