ILR- 28 day rule

Hi Guys,

I got my initial tier 1 general visa from 27/07/2009 to 27/07/2012. I applied at PEO for extension on the 09/07/2012 and was granted extension from 09/07/2012 until 09/07/2014 (this may be correct as per the UKBA guidelines, but was expecting the visa expiry date to be 27/07/2014)

I contacted UKBA and they advised this is correct and i can still apply for ILR with in 28days from 27/07/2014 (if i apply at PEO i can apply between 01/07 to 09/07/2014)

can i please request if someone can please confirm if this is the case and i will still be able to make in time application at PEO/Postal with in 28days from 27/07/2014 with out falling short of any days

Thanks in advance

Sandy

The advice you have been given is correct. If your first application was make out-of-country, then so long as you first entered the UK within 3 months of EC, then you will be eligible to apply for ILR from upto 28 days before the 5th anniversary from 27/07/2009.

Thanks, I made a in country application, so hope there won't be any issues applying for ILR with in 28 days from 27/07/2014

No, there won't be any issues in that respect.

Thanks for shedding some lights on this issue. So for example, if the visa work permit was granted out of country on 20/05/2008 and I entered the UK on 23/05/2008, I will be eligible to apply for ILR any day within 28 days from 23/05/2013?

yes correct

You can apply ILR - 28 days before 20/05/2013

Hi cs95tdg,

I'm on a Tier 1(G) visa and have a rather basic question - when can I apply for ILR?

History:
Entry Clearance Stamp: 01/05/09 (out-of-country)
Entered UK: 01/06/09
Tier 1 (G) valid till: 30/05/14

Can I apply for ILR on:

a) 01/05/14 (five years from EC)
b) 03/04/14 (28 days before five year EC – even though my current visa is valid till 30/05/14)

Thank you.
