Hi,

I have a query regarding the start date while applying for the ILR in UK, I got the UK Tier 2 General VISA on 19/03/2015 but I entered UK after 85 days on 16/06/2015, while applying for ILR which date would be considered to calculate 5 year time span in UK it would be 19th March (start date on VISA) or the 16 June (date of entry in UK).
