Stay in the UK under any "legal" immigration category can be included.

Nazia88, if you do indeed submit the form AN in July 2011, what you need to pay particular attention to is the number of days outside the UK in the previous 3 years.

So you arrived in the UK on a fiancÃ©(e)/spouse visa in October 2008. Since arriving in the UK on that visa, have you had much time outside the UK?

Of course, based upon what you have posted, there is about a 3 month period outside the UK from July 2008 to October 2008. But what other periods outside the UK since October 2008?

If you go along to an NCS office of Wednesday 20th July, or if you are intending to post your application, you post it Special Delivery on that day, either way the application should reach UKBA in Liverpool on Thursday 21st July.

The date of of receipt by UKBA marks the end of the 3-year qualifying period. That is, the 3-year period would be from 22.07.08 to 21.07.11.

With you in the UK from 21st to 23rd July 2008, there clearly could be no doubt about an application made as suggested.

Days out of the UK? Clearly not a problem.

thank you very john
one more question as i arrived on 21st of july 2008 and you said i should send my applictaion on 20th with special delivery, would they count my arrival day towards my qualify period ? by they i have proof of my ticket that i arrived in the morning about 9am.
what do you think it would be fine

I can only repeat :-

You were clearly in the UK on 22.07.08.

thank you i understand that and i just red from the UKBA webiste >>>>You must make sure you meet this requirement before you make your application. For example, if we received your application on 25 November 2005, you would have to show that you were in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2002 ok thanks you i will post on 20th so they will recive on 21 july once again thanks for you help i will updates you guyz once its done

Nazia88, do you know, I am not absolutely sure, as regards the actual day of arrival and leaving.

I think it would be far safer to stick with the July date.

Nazia88 · Post by **Nazia88** » Thu May 05, 2011 11:56 am

ok john thnx for reply i was thinkin the same and i will stick to july dates thats right its more safe.

Let's go through this carefully. If the application arrives at UKBA in Liverpool next Friday, 27th May 2011, the 3-year period will be from 28.05.08 to 27.05.11, and were you physically and legally in the UK on 28.05.08? Well yes!

So that looks OK to me, but given that you are now thinking of applying even earlier than previously considered you need to recheck the number of days outside the UK in the period 28.05.08 to 27.05.11, which is bound to be more than the day count you were previously looking at.

Also of course look at the day count out of the UK in the one year to 27.05.11.

Subject to all tests being passed, yes post next Thursday, the 26th, and of course post using Special Delivery .... for two reasons. Firstly that is the only way to guarantee delivery the next day, and secondly it is only Special Delivery envelopes that Royal Mail treat securely, which is important given you will be sending passport and other important documents.
