Changing University Fee status

I am an international student in the UK. However, I will be eligible for the local fee status after the second year of my degree. This is because I have been living the UK for 3 years under my father’s working visa. Is it possible to change my fee status in the middle of a course?
Fee status is determined by more than just residency. It’s often specifically determined by your status at the start of your course.

The only cases I know of where universities will amend fee status mid course are where a student gets indefinite leave to remain mid course.

Hello do you know if universities agree to fee status change after a student gets ILR? I’ve heard that once you start the course it doesn’t matter if you get ILR, you’ll remain international

You only can be classed as a home student once you get indefinitive leave to remain (ILR).

As a dependent of a Skilled Worker visa holder you only can apply for ILR after five years of continuous residence in the UK, under the same visa category.
