Did you enter UK within 90 days of getting HSMP ?

If yes, then you can apply for ILR 28 days before the 5th anniversary of your Entry Clearance.

That’s good PalemReddy. Then you can benefit from the Modernised Guidance for Calculating Continuous Period in UK for ILR.

Hi , Thanks for the link.

In some cases, applicants may have been granted five years continuous leave, but due to delayed travel will not have spent five years continuously in the UK before their current leave expires. Caseworkers may count the period between entry clearance being granted and the date the applicant entered the UK towards the five years, provided this period was not longer than three months.

In this circumstance, can I apply for an in person ILR appointment or I can only apply through postal service.

If I apply in person some time in November 2012, then I will be short of 47 days, will there be a chance of rejection ?

Regards,
Palem

Its your choice. The application of provisions of the modernised guidance will not differ.

It's not clear from your posts if the gap is due to late entry or to early extension. You can only apply the above mentioned concession to late entry.
