Dear UK Border Agency,
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to request the full internal guidance used by UKBA
Caseworkers whilst dealing with SET(O) applications for the
following scenarios:
a) The question is regarding the calculation of the 5 years
residence eligibility criteria. A person came to UK in 2001 on a
Student Visa whist studying here in the UK finds a job in the UK as
Minister of Religion and was told to change the visa over to a Work
Permit outside UK whilst He and the Family are still resident in
the UK. Entry Clearance was issued on 31th December, 2007 and valid
until 31
December 2007 but managed to apply for an extension before the
introduction of Tier 2 system in 26th November,2008.
Based on the Guidance Note stated above the person is eligible to
apply for settlement, should He needs extra one more year to reach
five years before he can be eligible to apply for settlement in UK
or can he apply for settlement after expiration of his four years
leave to remain visa?
Yours faithfully,
George Boakye
