I am applying next year mate. However please do update yours experience of applying ILR, especially when you will vary the grounds of your first application.

Definitely i will.

I am unfortunately same boat as well, unluckily 40 days short, even if I deduct 28 days out of 40 still 12 days short. Guess my best shot is to apply for an extension and then vary grounds. But my only worry is my Passport and my ICFN (the only important things) which I have to include with my firs...

I don't think that you can make a fresh application when you're in the process of appealing. However, you may ask the appea...
