Enquiry--Need Help

Post by duckykin » Thu Jun 04, 2009 2:17 pm

Hi,
I wish to make an enquiry whether I need to extend my visa to make up for the two-year qualifying period before I apply for the indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
The visa on my passport is valid from 25/07/2007 to 25/07/2009 but I came in to the UK on 16/08/2007.
Do I need to extend my qualifying period based on the fact that I arrived UK on 16/08/2007 or I should complete the application form SET(M)? Or since I came to the UK on 16/08/2007, can I start counting my 28 days backward from 16/08/2009 so that I can book my appointment with the PEO before the expiry of my visa.

Thank you for the prompt reply.

If you have satisfied the KOL requirements, then you may apply for SET(M) (288) between 19 July 2009 and 25 July 2009.
