it would have been nice of the RAF to actually give correct requirements on their website instead of stringing people along with a false sense of security.
Alexrey,
To reinforce the point being made by those trying to help you see your problem, the bit of the puzzle that you seem to be missing, is this -
at no point have you been a resident of the UK. Not for "a minium of 5 years", nor "between 3 and 5 years", nor for "less than 3 years". You haven't
lived in the UK, so the very final line of that section, in bold, clearly states:
If you do not fall into one of the above categories, then you are ineligible to apply to the RAF at this time.
Quite clear really. So, until such time that you have applied to reside in the UK, have had that application approved, and you then actually move to, and live in, the UK then you just don't meet the criteria!
What is more, even if you do perhaps get to reside in the UK, you have to fall in to one of the three categories you quoted,
and the RAF "will need to complete further checks on your eligibility during the application process. This will likely include checking your employment history in the UK and criminal record check. They are unlikely to take you on unless you have been resident for
at least 2 years, which they consider the minimum to show proof of willingness to remain in the UK. I know the latter from personal experience. Within those 2 years they will want to see proof that you have
worked (slobbing around on the family trust fund, or similar, is unlikely to cut the mustard
) and have
settled. You have to show 'willing and able'!
Does that make it clearer now?
