Hello people,
I really need your suggestions and for the benefit of others.
4-year workpermit, had extension refused on a questionable ground. Appealed and got appeal allowed. However, HO asked for a re-consideration. While reconsideration hearing was pending, made Tier2 app and was issued with Tier2 FLR that would take my tally to beyond 5 years. That automatically makes the appeal abandoned.

Now my question: Since, my appeal was pending, I was legal in the UK as a WP holder (previous visa rules apply while awaiting appeal hearing/reconsideration) until I got the Tier2 FLR and as such I have not broken any residency with regards to the 5-year qualifying period.
Is this correct? Has anyone experienced something similar? Any suggestions/contributions will be appreciated.

Goodcluck everyone.

no rules broken.
just make sure you have every possible evidence to prove your case.
all appeal documents and Tier 2 FLR approval letter from HO.

i'd also prepare a cover letter to explain the situation and put all dates in order. in case it is a non straighforward case and they have to take your documents for further consideration this letter might help.

Many thanks for your response. I'll take your suggestion.
