Will the BA relax 5 year requirement for my ILR application?

[anjelala]

I think that the Border Agency made an error when they first granted me Leave to Enter in 2009.

My Entry Clearance was valid from 16 March 2009 - 21 February 2012. Although I have just checked the Immmigration Rules (Part 6A, Paragraph 245 HC) which states that the period of grant should be: 3 years plus one month. They gave me 3 years MINUS one month.

Since then I have extended my same visa, which extended the validity date by 2 years to 21 February 2014.

Problem is now, that I intend to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain - but my visa only takes me to 4 years 11 months. Do you think I have any recourse to go back to them now and ask them to correct the error that I think was made in 2009?

Or maybe ask them to relax the requirement for ILR in my case, since it is only one month out?

Thanks for your help!

You can apply from 28 days before you qualify so you should be ok.
