I have been granted UK 'ILE' but it has an expiry date the same as my passport expiry date what should i do?
Find answers to your legal question.

I thought 'indefinite leave to enter' doesn't have an expiry date?.My passport will expiry this dec but i have renew it for another 5 years but my ILE is still in my old passport? Should i pay to get 'indefinite leave to remain' in my new passport as i am in the UK now? or can i still use the old 'ILE' in my old now expired passport? Please help me anyone?Thanks
Additional Details
I would like to state here i do not come to the UK because i want to as suggested by Boncylad. I had to come and stay here because it's the only way i can stay together with my husband as my country can't grant him a work permit. We are more than happy to stay where i came from if we can [not saying UK is not a nice place to stay].

Hi, actually, ILR does not have an expiry date. The date on your ILE means the date by which you must activate your ILE but you are fine. You only get one visa and when you get your new passport (from whatever country it is from), then when you travel outside the UK, you travel with both your old and your new passport to show: 1) that you have a current passport 2) your old passport will show your residency status (ILE). If in the future you have any more questions in regards to your UK immigration status, you can go to www.ukresidency.com for more information. It is pretty comprehensive.

What is important to the UK Border Agency is that you have a valid passport when traveling and that you have the appropriate visa and entry clearance. It seems that you have all the above squared away and need not worry when you get your new passport.
