Hello,

I just have been referred to a post stating:

In some cases, applicants may have been granted 5 years continuous leave, but will not have spent 5 years continuously in the UK before their current leave expires. Caseworkers may count the period between entry clearance being granted and the date the applicant entered the UK towards the 5 years, provided this period was not longer than 3 months.

Does it mean that if you are short of ILR by say less than 3 months, you dont need to apply for an extension??

Thanks,
Kavita

You can look at my post on ILR. I have sent an email to UKBA about this, and have received a reply from them that I have posted in that post.
