I can smell it should be very much okay as long as you meeting 5 years when the decision is made on ILR application. So, if you apply ILR near to the expiry visa date, then It is highly unlikely that you will miss this. Instead 28 days rule, submit by post 10 days before the expiry date. Hope you h...

My only issue here is did you explain or tell the lady over the phone that your LTR expires on the 15th April 2015? As she may be under the impression that your leave expires exactly after 5 yrs from initial EC date Thanks, Yes I did, i m planning to call them again tomorrow and would request em to...

Did you see the table of dates.

Year 1 to Year 5 and preceding the date of application (Nov 12 - 2007 to Nov 11 - 2012) , this is 5 full yrs

it says date of application, which will b before 16 apr 2015

I just called UKVI and the lady on the phone replied

"You should be ok to apply anytime between 23 March 2015 (28 days from 20 April 2015) and 16 April 2015"

If she is to be trusted (as this was a phone conversation having no legal record i guess ) i should be ok ....

Pg 19 says about absence doesnt say about when can one apply ILR... m i missing something here ?

HI Argus

Do you have any link to guidance or smwhere which clarifies this point ?

S

This is what I thought when I saw 16 april .... the first thought was "Since i need to apply within 28 days i should be ok !"

just sent an email to ukba

To: UKBApublicenquiries@ukba.gsi.gov.uk

lets see what they reply with.


Fingers crossed. ...

I checked, but i thought it should be ok since it is within 28 days ....

early extension is an option but it costs money,
more than 4k for 2 of us now

i will write to ukba to see what options do i have ....

But is this not a fault on UKBAs part to give me a visa not starting from the expiry date ?

can i req them to change it to 20 apr ?

From your post it looks like you are 5 days behind. Initial Grant - 20 April 2010 for 3 Years First Entry - 16 July ----> After 86 Days Tier 1 G Renewed on 16 April 2013 for 2 years Current leave expires on 15 April 2015 You should have LTR till 20 April 2015 You will require another extension.

Hi All I have a couple if questions regarding ILR if anyone could answer .. i would be grateful I am on Tier 1 General -- Initial Grant - 20 April 2010 for 3 Years First Entry - 16 July ----> After 86 Days Tier 1 G Renewed on 16 April 2013 for 2 years Current leave expires on 15 April 2015 My doubts...

do we need to prove any points for ILR ?

I thought once you complete 5 years as tier 1 g, you do not need to prove points any more as ILR is not a PBS.. ?

What we need to prove for ILR ?

Exactly going around in Circles !

same question different words will not have a different answer .. will it ?


Considering u are main applicant and your wife is dependent.. or vice versa, how are you expecting your wife's earning to get you points ?

A+B will get you points .. !

what do u mean exactly here ? Anything that you give to your wife be it dividend on salary, can not be counted as your income and hence you will not get points for that. UKBA will not award you points for wat amount u bring into you company account rather what you withdraw from you company account ....

No, not joint earnings. Points will be awarded for the total amount of salary and dividend that you withdraw from your company For ex if ur joint earnings are 60k And ur combined salary and dividend is 30k U will b awarded points for 30k not 60k U will need a letter from accountant explaining this A...
