Hello everyone
I came to Uk on 11th March2017, on a tier2 general visa and renewed my visa about 2 yrs ago.My current visa is till 7th march 2022.I was wondering will I be able to apply for ILR and if i do apply immigration might reject application citing visa is not given until 11th of March 2022!or should renew for another year and get that 4day period covered and apply for ILR after a year.really worried since a lot of money as fee involved in this since we will be applying as a family.thanks in advance for any advice.

regards
Alan

You can apply for ilr within 28 daya before the 5th anniversary of your initial visa issue date.

thanks for the reply.my BRP issue date is 21/02/2017 and UK entry clearance was issued on 06/03/2017.current visa till 07/03/2022.so which one is considered for 5years towards ILR application?BRP issue date entry clearance or actual date of landing in UK?.thanks

The earlier date on BRP.

It is not your date of landing in the UK that is used.
