How early to apply for extension

Post by ali_2012 » Tue Mar 20, 2012 5:40 pm

Hi guyz,
Need a bit of guidance. My Tier1 General visa expires on 6th June 2012. If i apply before this date (within a month before visa expires) will i get visa starting from 7th june 2012 or they will issue me the visa from the date the visa officer processed my application. In this case i might fall behind the 5yrs period when it comes to apply for ILR.
Thanks for your help

At the moment it is taking on average a minimum of 6 weeks from application date to approval date via post. You will be fine to apply around the time you have specified and still qualify for ILR


Kind Regards
