Will Post-Study Work Visa Break continuous resid.?

[KCUK]

I have been studying in UK for nine years already and am graduating next month. I want to apply for the Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) visa so I will have time to find a job in UK. My question is as the title of this post:

will post-study work visa break the 10 years continuous long residence required by obtinaing the permanent residence (PR)?

If it will not, does it mean once I have found a job, I need only 1 year work permit for getting the PR?

Many thanks

1. No it doesnt break
2. you need one more year

Best of luck!

Thank you for your reply. Yes, this is what a friend told me earlier. But I am a little confused.

I have found from page 8 of the "Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) of the
Points Based System - Policy Guidance" document (can be found from this web page: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/worki ... /applying/) that:-

"Time spent in the Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) category does not
count towards the period an individual needs to spend in the
United Kingdom before being eligible to apply for indefinite
leave to remain.

Leave in the Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) category does not lead to
settlement."

Does it mean it will NOT break the continuous residence but it does not count the 10th year, instead I will have to stay 1 more year after I have got a work permit afterward?

Thank you
