I have finally and successfully got my ILR at Croydon this week. More important to note is that I had a gap of more than 28 days (38 days to be precise) between my entry clearance date and first entry date.
Having been an ardent fan of this forum, I have benefited a lot from the forum and would like to give back on some of my experience for the benefit of the members. I will post my detailed experience tomorrow.

Can you advise on below query?
1) In SET-O form on page 20, D1 they have ask to tick if I have completed lawfull 5 years in UK.
Buy I am short of 23 days to complete 5 years and going for ILR as can do 28 days before .
What should I select ?

It seems you are within 28 days of completing 5 years in UK, i.e., you have completed 4 years and 11 months. If that is so,you can tick "Yes" as an option for completing 5 years of stay lawfully in UK.

Congrats to coolguycp1,
Please can you advice on my case below:
Visa uk clearance expire 15th feb 2013
First entry to uk28th feb 2013.
On work permit
I called and checked with ukba and was told the earliest I could apple is 31st jan 2013.
However, I am hoping to apply earliest possible before 31st jan 2013, say 15th jan 2013. Is that possible? Any chances the caseworker will reject my application?
Reason for doing this is I need my travel doc including biometric residence card by 1st feb 2013 to travel.
Pease advice. Many thanks
