Hi,

I could not find an answer to this, but please could some one confirm if a Tier 2 General applicant can apply for ILR 28 days in advance in the 5 year period?

Thanks in advance.

Can somebody please clarify :-

I understand that 28 days can be calculated from the visa issue date which can be different from the UK entry date.
Between my first Tier 2 visa issue date and entry inot UK there was a gap of around one month.

However, after two years, I moved to another sponsor and got a new Tier 2 visa.

So my 5 years is made up of 2 separate Tier 2 visas, under such a case can I still apply in advance of 28 days before my original visa isssue date?

Thanks.
