When you may qualify for settlement will depend on the date of entry into the UK, and not on visa effective dates. So, when did you enter UK and were the application for leave to remain (extension) submitted in-time?

Hello,

My initial entry to UK is on 3rd May 2006 and the subsequent submission for extension I hope happened on time 5 weeks before expiry of my visa.
The clarification that i have is the date of issue doesnt overlap or starts from from previous visa end date, not sure whether this needs to be consider for ILR eligible period and also will have any delay in the processing.

Thanks.

as long as your submission for extensions were before visa expiry, you should quality on 28 days before 3rd may 2011 i.e. soemtime in april 2011.
