ILR 5 year continuous period calculation query
Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2017 10:53 am
Hello,
I would be applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) towards the end of this year and I wanted some information back regarding the continuous period of 5 years. I applied for my Tier-2 General for the first time at the end of December 2012. My visa at that time was Tier-1 Post Study Work (PSW) Visa and its expiry date was 23/12/2012.
I applied for Tier-2 General Visa just before 23/12/2012 i.e. between 20/12/2012 - 23/12/2012 (don't remember exact date).
Continuous Period Query: I received my Tier-2 General visa in February and the start date was stamped for 08/02/2013. During this time i.e. between 23/12/2012 to 08/02/2013, the application was with the Home Office. Can someone please advise me whether this duration would be counted towards the 5 year ILR period or not? I'm sure others would've been in the same situation and some expert advise would really help.
Looking forward to your replies.
Cheers.
