Hi,

While applying for AN1 (after 1 year of ILR and 5 year T1 (G)), is it necessary that you must be in the UK exactly 5 years before?

For Example If I am planning to apply on 20/12/2015 and I was out of UK for holidays between 15/12/2010 and 03/01/2011?

Or I have to wait till 04/01/2016?

Thanks

is it necessary that you must be in the UK exactly 5 years before?

Yes, if you were not physically present exactly 5 years ago, your application will be refused.

Or I have to wait till 04/01/2016?

Yes.

Thanks CR001.

Sorry to add my question , but will be relevant ,
Postal I understand it is the date HO receives , but If some one apply using NCS , is it Application date to NCS or the date HO receives, accounted to check presence before 5 year ?

It has recently changed and the date of application is the date you attend NCS.

Please ask your questions in your own thread to avoid confusion.

Thank you CR001 ,for the quick reply.
Will surely do.
