ILR- Shortage of 36 Days

[addtad2004]

Hi

Can any one advice me on this one ...as it is not clear on UKBA website

My First VISA (HSMP Tier 1)--------04/09/2008

Arrived in the UK..........................10/10/2008

Extension (Tier 1 General) date (early)...................29/07/2010

Expiry of extension ..............................................29/07/2013

So as you can see there is a gap between 1st Clearance date and expiry of extension (36 days )

So Can I apply for ILR before 29/07/2013 or do I need extension for just 36 days of shortage I read the 5 year continues period assessment period but it doesn't say any thing about early extension.


Thank you very much In advance for your Advice

You qualify and can apply for ILR 28 days before 23rd July 2013

Dependant

First entry : 10 Aug 2011 (More then 90 Days)
Visa Expiry: 27 July 2013
2 year Qulaifying period on 9 Aug 2013
Your wife will be eligible on 9th aug 2013

Applying on PEO 15 July
She will not qualify hence go for your ILR and she will have to renew her dependant visa

Is she satisfying 2 Year Qualifying Period by 28 day Rule for Qualifying period??
There is no 28 days criteria for dependants.

Please help in explaining this situation.

There are two option which I think are best for you:
1. Apply by Post (approval may take few months)
2. Apply for her ILR on 9th aug in PEO (you are applying within 28 days after expiry) , I am not sure whether this is right.

Seniors can comment on this

I have phoned UKBA and they have come up with 15 July Date as the lady on the phone considered that by this date my depndent will be qualified as it is withing 28 days of qualifying period.

For me I qualify as well as i arrived within 90 day period.

Kindly confirm if UKBA gave me correct information.

"Important info for everyone"

My wife did not completed 2 years in uk she was missing 25 Days but still got the visa

My colleague applied couple of days later and his wife was 3-4 months short of 2 years but still manage to get this visa no question asked.#

Apparently dependant applying together doesn't count for 2 year qualifying period.

so those who are worried about partner as they are short of qualifying period please feel free to apply together.

I travelled after2 moths 21 days (no issue as within 3 months)

Also they way I have received my originals it seems case worker didn't even removed the clips.

Hope this info helps

Let me know if I can help you
