70 days short from applying ILR.Extension required?

Post by ginger.garlic » Mon May 07, 2012 1:26 pm

Hi All,

In most of the post there is been discussion about 90 days period from first visa date to entry clearance. Is this rule also applicable when one is short of these many days for ILR.

My situation is that I got my Work Permit on 10 jan 2008 and came to UK on 15 Jan. Then I applied for Tier1 and got my Tier1 from October 2009 end.

So now I am short from 70 days to be eligible for ILR. As now the extension fees is so high that if possible I want to save fees for Tier1 extension as again in 3 months I have to pay for ILR.

My question are:
Can I directly apply for ILR?
I heard from someone there could be short extension. Is that true I didn't find on UKBA site.

Please help this could be case of many others.

Thanks a lot.

The 3 month late entry concession is for five years continuous leave in the same category and is not applied to leave that is aggregated from different categories. You have a shortfall as a consequence of applying for a different type of leave much sooner than your previous leave was due for expiry so can't complete a full five years. You will have to make a (full) Tier 1 extension to bridge the (short) gap in your five year residence.
