ILR applying date confusion

Post by SilentEyes » Sun Nov 30, 2014 2:32 pm

Hello everyone,

My situation:

I'm going to apply for ILR soon. When I was granted leave to remain as a Spouse, I was given a 1 year, 10 months, 18 days (to be exact) visa instead of the 24 month visa under the old Immigration rules. Just to let you know I bit more about my background, before getting my Spouse visa, I came here in the UK on a Fiance Visa. After that I had applied for the Spouse Visa and I was granted visa under the New Immigration Rules mistakenly. So I had sent back the Biometric card to the Home Office to correct the mistake and I was granted visa under the Transitional Arrangements.


My question:

When do I apply for the ILR? Is it at the beginning of my visa expiry month or at the end of the visa expiring month?


Many thanks for your help.

I feel your question was not very clear, what your partner visa status? And when you entered to UK initially and on which visa ? when you extended your stay ?

Regards,
Suresh

My wife is British. I initially entered on a Fiance Visa on December 2012. Got my extension on March 2013.

You can apply no earlier than 28 days before the visa expiry date.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Thank you so so much for replying Casa.

My visa is expiring on 4/02/2015. So I need to apply for for my visa after 9th of January 2015. Am I right?

Kind Regards
