Submitting application right after midnight

hilalo · Post by **hilalo** » Mon Sep 27, 2021 8:47 pm

Hello all,

I have a specific question and searched the forum and couldn't find an answer to it.

So I submitted my application for naturlisation as a British citizen based on 5 year Tier 2 + 1 year on ILR.
I made the submission and payment right away after midnight at around 12:20am BST

The odd thing is that the system generated a payment confirmation which has the date of yesterday on that date even though it's after 12am and the new day has started. I suspect the system might be set to always use GMT time so doesn't increment the date until 1am BST

My question is, can the payment having the date of 1 day earlier be an issue to my application and make it look like it is made 1 day short of the 1 year on ILR due to this system issue or is it all ok?

Thanks

Don't think anyone can give you a definite answer here. Certainly I don't recall any issues being reported for this scenario. For peace of mind I would keep screen shots of everything, just in case.

Thanks for the response
Yes I noticed that the document check list document states the new date so that was some relief and I also attached it among the other docs in case it helps
Thanks again for the response I will keep documents aside just in case as you said

I also made application right after mid-night but the time was 1:16 am. The payment confirmation email was displaying the right date/time.

Most probably the payment processing system is set according to GMT time, our our before the real time.

I think the time on application pdf should have correct date/time. Did you try to download that document to confirm?

Thanks for your response
Yes I downloaded the application PDF and it shows 00:03am with the new date
I didn't expect it was that close

This shows that every second has a value!

I wonder if the day on which ILR is granted is counted as day 0 or day 1.

I would always recommend applicants to factor in extra time/days for last minute issues/errorr/omissions/system glitches/etc - there's really nothing lost if applying a few days past your "due date". It's an important application, both in terms of money and status to be gained.

Got the good news today that my application was successful
So for anybody stumbling upon this in future it didn't seem to have any negative impact
