An application for settlement which is considered by caseworkers more than 28 days before the applicant completes the required qualifying period for long residence should be refused on the basis that they have not completed the required period of leave in the UK. If the application is considered 28 days or less before the 10/14 years is completed and the applicant meets all the other criteria, ILR may be granted.haq78 wrote:hi i,m on the student visa till july31 2014 , 2months before my 10 years completes can i apply for indefinent at that time or i need to complet exactly 10 years please need advice thansk
