HELLO,

MY HSMP VISA STAMPED ON 26 JUNE 2007 AND I ENTER IN THE UK ON 01 SEPT 2007.

I HAD APPLIED FOR VISA EXTENSION ON 26 JUNE 2009 AND GOT TIER 1 VISA UP TO 26 JUNE 2012.

IN TOTAL I HAVE GOT 5 YRS VISA BUT SINCE I CAME IN THE UK ON 01 SEPT 2007 I AM SORT BY @ 65 DAYS.

CAN I APPLY FOR THE ILR DIRECTLY? CAN ANYONE ADVICE PLEASE.

MANY THANKS.

You must apply for a Tier 1 extension.

If you entered UK within no more than 3 months since EC approval, the absence may be ignored under the modernised guidance.

I would agree with push. If you entered UK within 90 days of getting EC, you are eligible to apply for ILR 28 days before the 5th anniversary of your EC.

i entered 74 days late, got my ILR yesterday at liverpool.
case worker didnt even asked for it. as long as you enter within 90 days of EC you are alright . one of my friend also was late to enter by 65 days and got his ILR from sheffield last september.

good luck

drzeevoh73: I am guessing you applied for ILR 28 days before the 5th anniversary of your entry clearance ?
