Hi Linkers,

You can apply on any date after 24th April 2013, provided you were in the country five years from that date.
Example if you applied on 24th April 2013, you should have been present in the country on 24th April 2008.

I think there is a rule of 90 days from the entry stamp to entry date which is counted towards the stay.
