Completing 10 years while extension is in process

Dear all

My friend applied for T1 ENTREPRENEUR extension on 23rd of MAY 2016, He has not got any reply so far so the problem is he is completing 10 years on 10th of January 2017 according to UK entry n 12 of December 2016 according to visa stamp. So he has few questions in his mind and ur valuable comments would be highly appreciated
1 what should he do now either wait for outcome of extension or apply for ILR on the basis of 10 years
2 if he applies for ILR on the Base of 10 years without waiting for outcome of extension Wat impact it will make
3 home office counts 10 years from.the date of entry to UK or the date on visa
4 how before he can apply for ILR 14 days or 28 days

1 what should he do now either wait for outcome of extension or apply for ILR on the basis of 10 years

If he meets the requirements for ILR, he can apply to vary his current application to ILR LR.

2 if he applies for ILR on the Base of 10 years without waiting for outcome of extension Wat impact it will make

No impact, but how will he apply if he does not have his documents. He needs to apply to vary his application.

3 home office counts 10 years from.the date of entry to UK or the date on visa

Date of ENTRY for long residence.

4 how before he can apply for ILR 14 days or 28 days

Anytime WITHIN 28 days of reaching 10 years residence from date of ENTRY.

An applicant can vary an application at any time before a decision is made on it. They can do this if they want to be considered for a grant of leave on a different basis to their initial application.
If the applicant wishes to vary their leave for a purpose where a specified application form is required, they must complete the new form and meet all the requirements of paragraph 34A of the Immigration Rules and the Immigration (Health Charge) Order 2015, for the variation to be valid.
A person who varies their application does not have to pay an additional fee unless the new ground they want to be considered under has a higher fee than their original application. In this case, they must pay the difference between the original fee and the new higher fee.
