Set O guide.jspsandhu wrote:Hi,
Seems a bit dumb but here is my scenario :-
Entered UK 15th NOV 2007 as HSMP
Current Visa Tier-1 expires 18th Oct 2012
Is this exactly 28 days and I should be eligible to apply for ILR or this is one day short
I have seen on the board mention that the date when you complete 5 years is 15th Nov - 28 days and that is 19th October and am I correct that I will have to apply for extension and then ILR ?
Where is this mentioned that you can apply 28 days in advance ? I cannot find this either on the UKBA site but could only locate this here on immigrationboards...
Please help..
Regards
Jas
You can apply for ILR upto 28 days before your 5th anniversary from date of EC. I.e. 18th Oct 2012 - 28 days.jspsandhu wrote:So I got the Visa HSMP 18th OCT 2007
Entered UK 15th NOV 2007
Renewed Tier-1 date 18th Oct 2009 for 3 years till 18th Oct 2012 as there was no HSMP then...
For the Whole time have been in full time employment in the UK and still employed.
Please let me know if settlement is the way forward or renewal... and then settlement..??
Another annoying thing is the UKBA site it does not allow you to book any appointments have been trying for the last 5 days every night at midnight...after reading guidance from other posts..
One point to bare in mind is that if you have switched immigration categories in-country, e.g. WP to HSMP/Tier 1 then the 3 month concession would not apply. See... http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... ht=#703634rkrohela wrote:Folks,
Apologies for a query late in the day, but it is URGENT for me.
I was granted entry clearance on 1st Nov, but I entered UK on 30 Nov 2007.
I understand I will be covered by the 5 year rule concession, but to complicate the issue, my current leave does not run out until the 30 Nov 2012. (At the time of my extension, I was effectively given a 30day grace period so as to let me complete full 5 years)
Now I am applying on 05 Oct for the ILR, which is within 28 days before 1st Nov, I.e. my visa stamping/entry clearance date.
Is this going to be ok, or will I have to count 28 days before the current leave expires on 30 Nov?
Sages/experienced members please guide, as I am applying tomorrow!
