Dear All,
I am filling as ILR SET (LR) under long residence ( 10 year) and have a query.
I came to UK in 2004 on student visa.
In early 2009 I applied for POST STUDY WORK visa which got rejected with the objection that a document was missing.
I however filled an appeal and won the case in court.
My student visa finished on 31st Jan 2009 ( I applied for Post Study Work before that.)
But got the rejection in March 2009. I did the appeal in court and won and was granted PSW visa in August 2009.
From Jan 2009 to August 2009, I was in UK.
I am currently filling the SET ( LR) form and there is a question:
D8. Have you ever stayed in the United Kingdom beyond the end of your period of leave?
I am not sure should I say YES or NO to this question?
My question is:
a) from 31st Jan to August when I did not have the visa as the case was on - has this broken my legal 10 year stay in the country.
b) What will be my legal position as I was in the country and won the case, so technically the administration time it took was not due to my fault.
Please advice.
