Congratulations!! When do they charge fee? Did they check your ILR eligibility period (as you were 35 days late arrival) before or after charging the fee? I myself arrived 49 days late and booking for appointment and fear that I might loose the fee in case some case worker take this seriously? Thanks

Can anyone please confirm the exact link to book the PEO appointment online?

Thanks

I am trying to book an appointment for ILR. What option should I select from the list "Which service are you applying for?" as there is no option for ILR?

I am on Tier1-G at the moment.

Thanks

Thanks, so that doesn't effect existing Tier1 holder!! I understood it wrong.

Hi GG2011, Have you noticed the bold sentence in this para: In cases where the applicant has delayed their entry to the UK by less than 3 months (the delay can therefore be disregarded), and their PEO appointment is earlier than 5 years after their Entry Clearance date, they will not be allowed to s...

Hi linkers,

I have checked the email address and it is correct (SettlementOpsPolicy@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk)

Should I send it again or is there some other email address where I can send it. What was subject of your email?

Thanks

Hi yvr_1978,

What if CW rejects my ILR due to not qualifying the period due to late arrival, can this decision will be chalanged? What is right way? Should I apply for extension now or w...

If anyone has this experience, please confirm as we need to decide what route we should go.

Thanks innocentdevil & srikp
@Srikp Is this rule will be applied to all applications that fall in this category or its on the discrition of the case worker as the wording here is confusing

Caseworkers may count the period

Anyone have personal experience like this? Please comment!
