ILR Qualifying Period

Dear Friends,
I got one issue with my ILR application,

I'm in Tier 2 (General) visa. Myself & my wife got Tier 2 visa issued on the same date (10th June 14), our current visa getting expired on 17th may 19. so my visa expire date is within the 28 days limit [(i.e) 14 May would be 28th day & 17th May will be 25th day].
I would like to go for 24 hours decision service.

My first question is can i apply ILR ?
Do i need to go for year extension ? to comfortably have 5 years qualifying period.

Your Opinion and advice please.

Regards
MEDEV

You can apply no sooner than within 28 days before the 5th anniversary of your initial visa ISSUE date.

Hi CR001

Is this the submission date online or is this the date of appointment in the centre?

Can I submit an application before the 28 days period and book the appointment within the 28 days?

Thank you!

The date of application is the date you SUBMIT and PAY online and not the date of appointment. You should not apply until you are within the 28 days period that HO allows before reaching the qualifying period. Members have been refused for submitting online too early.

Hi,

So are you eligible to apply for ilr with your visa end date being 17may 2019 or do you need extension?

SET(O) Partner Application query

Hello Friends/ Advisors
I'm going to apply for ILR for myself and my wife in same application form.

Our Initial Visa (Tier 2 general) Issued on 10 June 2014 and we both entered UK within 180 days, so we are eligible to apply for ILR from 13th May 2019 (through 5-year route).

While filling application for my wife, I got confused with below question? please clarify.

"Does the period of stay on which this application was based includes any leave granted since 11 January 2018".? YES or NO.

My second visa extension was granted on May 2016, so do I need to click 'NO’? if I click NO, application is not asking any absence thereafter for my wife?
But we have been to our country (Out of UK) for holidays during December 2018- January 2019 for a month period.

Where to show these absences?

Do the statement means, those who got visa extension after 11 January 2018, only need to click ‘YES' isn't it?

Quite Confused, Kindly Clarify.
Thank you

Regards
Dev

Thanks very much 'tier11417' for your fast response, But If i click NO , what about the absence details after January 2018, Application is not demanding these information, then how do they know that we haven't spent more than 180days outside UK.

Thanks
Dev

If no leave is granted after 11 Jan 2018, then the absences are irrelevant. For only someone whose leave was granted after 11th Jan 2018, one would list the absences then.

Your date of application is when you pay and submit your application i.e. today. You have made an in time application so you are fine. Date of biometrics is irrelevant. You get 45 working days to submit your biometrics. It can be before or after visa expiry does not matter.
