Tier1 to ILR - When to apply

[ss2010]

Hi,

I entered UK on a work permit on 24-Apr-2006 and switched to Tier 1( General) on 8-April 2008.

My Tier 1 visa expires on 8-April-2011 which is 16 days short of the 5 years required for ILR but is within the 28 days that I can apply in advance of 5 years.

What should I do?

Can I apply for ILR on/around 01/Apr/2011 as my immigration status will then remain the same while my application is being decided.

Or should I get an extension for my Tier 1 and then apply for ILR after completion of 5 years.


Work Permit: 24/Apr/2006 - 08/Apr/2008
Tier 1 (General): 08/Apr/2008 - 08/Apr/2011

Thanks in advance
SS
