Im so relieved and happy- after 5 years on skilled worker visa my ILR was approved yesterday. Just sharing some insight in case anyone needs it and good luck fellow expatriates!! Mind you, i have been here 9 years total now

I paid priority and it came on working day 4!

My passport was stolen in Europe so i lost all my stamps- my lawyer drafted a cover letter explaining that my absences list was to the best of my knowledge cos im sooo sure i messed at least one or 2 dates up!

I had over 10 pcns and declared them- was so worried it would affect but it didn't! Declare it all guys (so long as your lawyer advises)

Wishing you fantastic news soon

ILR application about to be submitted- i had 16 pcn (15 council issued, 1 private issued)- all paid no court or nothing

However in the 5 year ILR qualifying period i received x2

Lawyers think i should disclose just the 2 but im worried about naturalisation application later as i believe it considers entire length of stay in uk?

Helppp

Was a student 2018 till 2020 left cause no job and got an internship and offer in uk and reentered 7 months later. Job required driving so i used my international license for 12 months- got 11 parking tix now i have ilr applications and worried about if i was even allowed to drive at all
