10 Year Long Residency Rule

Post by rob911 » Thu Apr 03, 2008 7:53 pm

Apologies if there is an answer to this elsewhere in the forum. Does anyone know the criteria for 10 year Long Residency ILR? Can it be a combination of 7 years student + 3 years WP (all continuous). Spoke to an immigration advisor today who advised it has to be in one category ie. 10 year Student or 5 years on WP, this didn't sound right to me. 5 years on WP comes 2 years after my 10 year legal stay hence the question.

Rob,

its 10 years continous stay on any basis to be eligible for ILR, so you are fine.

Thanks for the information guys. I must have been misinformed by the advisor as your comments make sense
