Please can you help on form set(o) section 6.1 which states when did you the main applicant first enter the uk? This refers to the date of your first entry into the U.K. at the beginning of the period of stay on which this application is based.

I came into the U.K. on working holiday visa in February 2006 and successfully switched into hsmp in January 2009 of which I am now due ILR under tier 1 in February 2014 . Can you please advise as to what date I need to put in this section , since my ILR is based on been under hsmp (2yrs) and tier1 ( 3yrs)

It is a very tricky question especially when someone switched into this category within the country. However, there should not be wrong affect on application either you write your first entry date (2006) or the date when you switch into HSMP/tier1 since you attaching the passport/BRP and the relevant documents and the prescribed form.

Many thanks sheraz7.
