Hello Everyone,
I need your valuable advise. Here is my details,

Entry in UK : 25th September 2007 ( tier 4)
Then i was on PSW and tier 4 again.
Current visa Expires: 30th March 2007 ( Tier 4)

I am around 5 months short to be qualified to apply for ILR. Can anyone please tell me how can I buy some more time.

My wife is in UK since March 2016 , we have no Kids. On what basis my wife have to apply for new visa. I wont be able to show 18,600 earing as I am allowed only 20 hours per week.

Looking forward to your valuable feedback.

How does one stay a student for so long? Thought they had an upper years cap on time spent studying?

I came 2007 ( no cap that time) also I did HND which did not count when I extend next 2 times on tier 4.

@arefin1988,

Please keep me updated here as I am 5 months sorts but under different visa categories. How are you planning to apply for 10 yrs route.

Thanks,

Hi guys
I didn't have that long of a gap but was falling around 2 weeks short. After reading several posts of people with our situation, I decided to apply for FLR first and then vary it to ilr once qualifying period was reached. I'd recommend you guys to go through this http://www.immigrationboards.com/indefi ... 11672.html . Here PSW2009, Zidane have covered the process and their journey in detail. Also look for Singh21 post as he had a longer gap than others and applied for FLR twice before sucessfully getting his ILR months later.

Hope this helps and good luck

UKVI is clamping down on vexatious and frivolous applications these days.

And getting too creative can backfire in other ways:
