Hi all,
Apologies for the question at this early stage; but wanted to clear my mind as was a little confused.
I was on a skill worker dependent visa (as my wife was the main applicant on a skill worker visa) till 22nd March 2024.
Recently I changed my visa to a skilled worker visa; which reset the clock for ILR.
I applied for a Tier-2 skill worker visa on 15th December 2023; and after 14 weeks of waiting I received my visa on 22nd March 2024.
My COS start date and end dates:
Start Date: 1st Feb 2024
End Date: 31st January 2029
(total time: 5 years including the end date)
on view and prove (share code) is shows now;
Status: Skilled worker
Valid from 27 February 2024
Valid until 14 February 2029
(total time: 4 years, 11 months, 19 days including the end date)
However, my visa was approved on 22nd March 2024 and as per the decision email; it permits me to stay in the UK as a Skilled Worker until 14 Feb 2029.
Visa approved on 22 March 2024
Valid until 14 February 2029
(total time: 4 years, 10 months, 24 days including the end date)
I heard that; after 5 years of the qualifying period on SWV; one can apply for ILR.
In my case, it would be from the date of approval to 5 years which means 22nd March 2029; is my understanding correct?
if so, do I need to submit another application for a skilled worker visa in the future to fulfill the qualifying time or not?
