do Visa's expire during ILR application

[AcrossBorders]

Hi,

Sorry this must be a reptitive question - I couldnt find the answer

If you apply for ILR, 28 days before expiration of a spouse Visa but receive no response until 2-3months later, does this count as an overstay?

considering the spouse visa expires 28days from the date of the ILR application. Hope this makes sense..

Thanks

The visa continues to be 'alive' as the situation is covered by what is known in immigration circles as 3C/3D. Read this http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary for the exact details.
