Clarification on current visa/leave to remain start date - Tier 2 Extension

Hi All.

Hope you had a good weekend. I had a quick question please - On the online application to extend tier 2 general visa, there is a question on What is the start date of your current visa or leave to remain? - Should I use the Valid from date on the Entry clearance (visa pasted on passport before arriving in the UK) or should I use the BRP valid from date, please. The BRP valid from date is 1 week before the valid from date on the Entry clearance (pasted on the the passport).

Thank you in advance.

Dear All

Request if you could please provide inputs since I need to submit the form soon.

Thank you in advance for the inputs.

Dear Team,

Request if you could please help clarify since I need to submit the application at the earliest.

Apologies for the repeated requests.

Thanks a lot for the input on advance.

As far as I'm aware, we need to provide a date from the current BRP card but again I'm not an immigration expert/solicitor. This is my own understanding.
I submitted Tier 2 PBS Dependent Extension application last week and I provided the date from the BRP card. I can post you the outcome as soon as I get one.

I received the approval letter and the BRP yesterday. So as I mentioned earlier I provided the date on the BRP.

@charli thanks so much for the update.

Really appreciated.

Can you please let me know the final list of documents that you uploaded on the site.
