Hello Friends,

I came to UK on work permit, intra company transfer (Infosys), on 8 April 2008, moved to tier-1 general on 24 May 2008.

So my question is weather the 5 years clock will start from 8 April or from 24 May 2008?

Also, I would need to leave UK around 15 March 2013 for MBA.

I have read that application for ILR can be made a month before completion of five years. So considering only the duration of my tier-1 stay from 24 May 2008 onwards, If I apply on 24 April 2013 from India, would it be a problem becuase of the fact that I would have left UK, that too on 15 March 2013 itself.

Regardless of all the criterions such as salary, number of leaves (90 days, 180 days etc ).

Thanks for your help on this.

I L R can not be applied for outside the UK . Hence the word remain , meaning the desire to stay .
Not clear why you are thinking about 2013 now , as you will see from others posts things may be quite different in 2 years .

Thanks for th reply.

Will my clock start from 8 April 2008 or 24 May 2008?

ILR clock started from 8/4/2008. Apply for ILR 28 days before, provided rules do not change.
