I thought you were eligible for settled status after 5 years of living in the UK for 6 months or more each year? Assuming you don't get citizenship through your wife. (Edit: I see you've explained this in another comment further down, that sucks)

Sorry to hear about your redundancy, that does suck.

5 year applies if you're on settlement visa, like General Visa of past and Skilled Worker Visa currently.

But I was brought in on ICT visa, which was non-settlement visa and time spent is not counted as settled.

But I think this will make Torries happy at least as they will have one less immigrant :)
