Am I Eligible for ILR

[reg4suresh]

Hi,

I have entered UK in Nov 2008 on Tier 2. The visa says (Number of entries: MULT and Type: VISA WORK PERMIT). Then I switched to Tier 1 (General) in Mar 2010. I have peo appointment for my extension this week (still 2 months validity left in my visa).

Here my question is, Will I be eligible for ILR this November?

I think I will be, but not very sure. Please help...

Note: I was in the Uk for all these years without breaking no of days away from country rules and I applied my Tier 1 extn form with in UK.

Thanks,
Suresh

Because the gap in your EC issue date and your initial UK entry date exceeds 90 days, your 5 year count begins from entry date of 22Nov08. You will have completed 5 years in 22Nov13. You become eligible to apply from 28 days before 22Nov13, and until your current/extended visa runs out.
