I want to apply for indefinite leave to remain but I don’t know in which category i should apply under.
I have been in the UK for almost 7 years i came in February 2004 as a student and i graduated in June 2006 and graduated with a science degree from London met university.
I applied for a science and engineering graduate scheme and i was granted one year leave to remain from may 2007.
I started full time employment in November 2006 and I applied for a tier 1 (General) in May 2008 and i was granted three years in February 2009.
I got married to a British citizen in September 2008 at a registered Islamic charity (Mosque) with the presence of two witnesses and fulfilling all the UK marriage requirements i also have a stamped and signed marriage certificate as proof. I have been living with my wife since then and have all the evidence to support that.
I have never stopped working since November 2006 and i am able to support myself and my family without the help of the government (my wife also works).
As i am approaching my second year of marriage and fourth year working and paying tax in the UK. i don’t know where i stand as far as indefinite leave to remain is concerned.
I would really appreciate your advice and help on if i am eligible to apply for indefinite leave to remain on the grounds of marriage or working in the UK for 4 years in the UK.
I also wanted to know if working under the science and engineering graduate scheme will count towards the time I’ve worked in the UK.
Thank you
