The guidance permits applicants to submit their application no earlier than days before the end of their qualifying period. It does not demand that, in doing so, their leave would have continued beyond the submission date to actually complete or go beyond the qualifying residence period. This is a standard treatment with settlement applications in all categories.

As per your advise if I apply on 6 or after 6/09/201. Then I will qualify for my ILR. Is it true?
.....

Kind Regards

Your entry date 4/10/2002
10 years on 4/10/2012
28 days begins 6/9/2012
Current leave expires 14/9/2012
Application postmark window 6/9 to 14/9.

If you apply during your postmark window, your application will be in- time, and should benefit from 3C protection.

So if still apply on 06/09 or on 07/09/2012. Will my application still be valid?

I think you (Lukapooka) are wrong, you MUST have enough leave to build 10 years!!!!!

Have a look following pharagraph (Long residence Guidance page 19-20)
A person cannot make a fresh application for leave while they have 3C or 3D leave pending the outcome of a decision on their outstanding application. This means that someone who reaches the 10 year threshold during this leave cannot apply for indefinite leave.

3.2. Applications lodged during leave under sections 3C and 3D

It is possible to vary the grounds of an application already made,
even by introducing something completely new.

Firstly, I have seen somebody with identical situation and got his ILR, so on this I disagree with Jaberdene and anybody that says you are not eligible . I will advice you to apply between 07/09/2012 and 12/09/2012, all you need for application are LIUK, Passport for all the period, application form and fees. Also, not essential but to top-up all important letters from institution or UK government department throughout these period.
