Date Of Application - ILR

sriaccount · Post by **sriaccount** » Thu Jul 05, 2018 10:08 am

I'm currently on Tier-2 General visa and will be applying for ILR this year, but have a question regarding when is the earliest I can apply - is it 28 days before the entry clearance granted or 28 days before I arrived in UK?

Details:
Visa Granted - 05/Dec/2013
UK Arrival - 12/Jan/2014

Question - What is the earliest Date I am eligible to apply for ILR is
05/Dec/2018(Visa Granted) minus 28 days?
OR
12/Jan/2019(UK arrival) minus 28 days?

Please help me on this.

Thanks

Hello All,

I have a query on the date of my application of ILR. As per the policy, we can apply 28 days before the completion of the 5 years of the continuous period. Is this date of application calculated till the date of your online application where you book the fees or is it till the date have your appointment to submit your documents at premium service?

My appointment on 14 November
Application date on the online form 5th October
28 days qualifying period starts on 8th November

Please help with this.

Date of application is the premium service appointment.

I found the following information from Immigrations rules so a bit worried.

Date an application (or variation of an application) for leave to remain is made
34G. For the purposes of these rules, the date on which an application (or a variation of application in accordance with paragraph 34E) is made is:
(i) where the application form is sent by post by Royal Mail, the date of posting as shown on the tracking information provided by Royal Mail or, if not tracked, by the postmark date on the envelope; or
(ii) where the application is made on a paper application form and is submitted in person, the date on which it is received at a Home Office premium service centre; or
(iii) where the paper application form is sent by courier, or other postal services provider, the date on which it is delivered to the Home Office; or
(iv) where the application is made via the online application process, the date on which the online application is submitted whether or not a subsequent appointment is made at a Home Office premium service centre.

I am eligible for the date of Premium Service appointment, will they reject my application for this?
What is the worst case scenario? Please help me on this?

Does Home office considers the online application submission date to calculate the 5 year eligibility or the Premium appointment date?

I am eligible on premium appointment date but submitted the online application early to book the slots.

If I attend the appointment will they refuse my application on this reason?

Please help me with this. Really worried about it

Many Thanks

Apologies, i know you have replied this earlier but i couldn't find any source.
If they refuse my application, on what basis I should appeal them for this.

Hope you understand my situation.

Many Thanks,
Sri

For goodness sake, date of appointment is the Premium service appointment as MANY members have posted in the last couple of months, as it has always been for in person appointments!!!

Just one recent example of booking in August and applying in person in October by user deelazam !!!

BTW, there are no appeal rights for PBS route applications.

Thank you for this. Let's see what's in store for me. If i don't appeal then I need to wait for couple of more months and apply again. All I lose is £3000

found this online
I found the following information
Calculating the specified continuous period
Applicants can submit a settlement application up to 28 days before they would reach the end of the specified period.
You must calculate the relevant qualifying period by counting backward from whichever of the following is most beneficial to the applicant:
• the date of application
• the date of decision
• any date up to 28 days after the date of application

Yes, I don't have appeal right but I have my current visa until 9-06-2019 so i can apply again after 45 days. This is the worst case scenaion.

Hello Sriaccount , congratulations on getting your ILR application completed successfully.
Could you please guide me if you had to provide anything special like a covering letter or something as I am also in a similar situation :

Date of Online Application : 8th October 2018
Date of Appointment : 19th November 2018
Day when my Qualifying period starts ( i.e. 28 days before I complete total 5 years) : 6th November 2018.

I am extremely nervous about my appointment, as this date of online application vs date of appointment issue is very troublesome.
Thanks

Hi Amzisib

Your 'Day when my Qualifying period starts ( i.e. 28 days before I complete total 5 years) : 6th November 2018' was based on initial visa issue date or your first UK arrival date?

Thanks

This is a risk and I know at least one member being in the same situation as yours having had to cancel the application (then claim for refund) and re-applying within 28 days of qualifying period. He did that for peace of mind. The decision is at the casework's discretion because I know they could choose either the application date, the decision date or up to 28 days after the application date.
