Hi,

My 1st Work Permit visa stamped on 22 April 2005. So, my 5 years are completing on 22 April 2010.

I have booked an appointment on 26 March 2010. Is there any issue with date? Its well within 28 days(inclusive and exclusive) but just asking for confirmation.

This should be ok!

Infact I checked this while booking my appointment!!

@denver2k,

I think your ILR period starts from the day you enter UK not when the Visa was stamped.
thats my opinion..

Agreed!!

Denver2k...sincere apologies for not interpreting your question correctly.

Deep is right! The clock starts ticking only after you enter UK. For some reason I assumed that you are mentioning the UK entry stamping in your question instead of the work permit stamping! Sorry.

I was already in UK when i had my Visa stamped.

Hi All,
Please can someone guide me on this, i am a bit confused.

I came to the UK on 20 august 2005, so i will complete my 5 yrs stay on 20 august 2010 (Friday). Can i apply for my ILR on 23 July 2010 (Friday)?

Also, when i can start looking for online appointments, is it 9 weeks before 23 July 2010 which will be 21 may 2010 (friday).
Can i get appointment on telephone 9 weeks in advance or is it 6 weeks in advance of 23 july 2010 ?

Thanks.

you are fine then, you will count your qualifying period from the day your FLR was stamped.
