Hello immigration experts
I am on a Tier 1 General Visa from July 2010. I am keen on knowing the earliest date of IN PERSON application (when I am eligible)
Details:
Tier 1 Visa applied from India on 4 May 2010
Visa received on: 18th May 2010
Visa Start Date: 20 July 2010 ( I had requested this in my application form)
1st entry in UK: 07 August 2010 ( Visa Start Date + 18 days)
1st Extension validity: 20 July 2015
I havent been away from the country for over 40 days in any of the five 12 months' consecutive periods.
Please not I am short of completing 5 years by about 10 days - is this ok?
Am I eligible to apply for ILR without any further extension?
What is the earliest date I can apply for ILR from above?
Please can someone send a link to an official statement on Home Office website/ guidance?
Thanks very much.

What is the entry clearance date on your original visa?
What date did you enter the UK?
No point guessing which date to apply if you don't give the exact dates.

no sooner than 28 days before 13th May. You can apply any time within the 28 days, it does not have to be the first day of the 28 days.
