Which date to use: When did you first enter the UK?

I entered the UK during September 2019 with a tier 4 student visa. I went to India during covid times and returned in July 2020. I had applied for tier 2 visa in October 2020 and got it issued on the 17th November 2020.

I will be now applying for ILR as my qualifying period from 17th November 2020 - 28 is around now.

For the ILR application, what date do I put.

I'm confused since it says this should be based on the application you are making.

This has been answered many many times before. That question on the form has no relevance to the qualifying period calculation. The answer has no effect on your ILR
