For Further Leave to Remain applications, the grant of leave has a maximum time limit from the date of the decision.
Applying too early may result in you being unable to meet the qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain within the validity of your Further Leave to Remain. Then you many need to make further unnecessary applications for extensions of stay.
If you apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain sooner than 28 days before the completion of your qualifying period and do not qualify on the
date of the decision, then you may be refused.
