I am new to this site my question is regarding ILR eligibility and PEO appointment.

I have been in UK Since september 2005 and below is brief history about my residence period.

Entered UK as student -- Sep 2005
Applied for Fresh Talent Working in Scotland -- April 2007
Applied for Tier 1 General -- February 2009
Tier 1 rejected , reason given was " unable to verify my masters degree in UK", Appealed and got Tier 1 granted

Tier 1 general -- 24th July 2009
Tier 1 extension -- 28th June 2012 ( within 28days before expiry of first grant 24th July 2012)
Tier 1 Valid Until -- 28th June 2014 ( 26 days shortage to complete 5 yrs continuous residency)

I have seen many other posts , most of which deal with people who have applied from outside UK and who fall under 90 days concession,

since i was already in UK , am i eligible to apply for ILR with 26days shortage ? and within 28days from 5 yrs anniversary date.

and any advise whether to go for in person by PEO appointment or to send the documents through post ( reason for this i my job is dependent on right to work and my employer has already emailed a reminder about my visa validity ) .

Would really appreciate some guidance.

Regards

You may apply for ILR between 26 June 2014 and 27 June 2014.

Go for PEO Service as Postal Application will take long time.

Thanks vinny and rehan for the reply.

My Major concern is if they reject stating my tier 1 doesn't cover full 5 years , also since i get only two days window to apply , my worries are what happens if they raise the above concern and reject my application, i will lose the fees and also would lose the right to appeal since it will be under valid window before my visa expires on 28th of june. Also, if i then have to go for tier1 the next day, i will have to pay the full fees.

Hence, very concerned . would appreciate if you know any such other cases which have been successful.

Any Senior members or gurus please can you some shed light in this situation.

As far as i know, your 5 year stay would complete on 23 July 2014.
You may need to apply for 3rd Extension for the shortfall.
