Anas,
I am only able to give you the policy, which I have provided in the previous two emails. If you want, you can include a copy of this email trail with your application when it is submitted.
Thanks

Hi XYZ
That has given me huge relief. Thank you very much for your help.
Just to reconfirm and put everything together, this means considering my date stamps of Entry Clearance stamp and UK arrival, UK Home Office is happy to consider this time towards my continuous time in UK for my ILR application. The reason of considering this period is according to the Home Office's calculation method I have entered UK on 91st day (not 92nd day) therefore my delay did not exceeded 90 days.
Visa stamping: 23/03/2010
Date entered UK: 22/06/2010
Thanks,
Anas

Anas,
The day your entry clearance was issued would be day zero as it would only be part of a day. Day 1 of the 90 day period would be the following day. In your case if your entry clearance was granted on 23 March 2010, then the 90 day period should start on 24 March 2010.
Thanks
XYZ

Hi XYZ
Thank you for your reply. Please can you have a look at my date stamp and confirm if this period will be counted towards continuous period in UK, reason is, although I calculated it as 91st arrival day but somebody has told me recently that I have to include visa stamping day as well which means 92nd day.
Visa stamping: 23/03/2010
Date entered UK: 22/06/2010
Thanks,

Dear Anas,
Half days would be counted as a day you were inside the UK. As a result if an applicant arrived in the UK on the 91st day after they received their grant of Entry Clearance, the whole period could be counted towards the continuous period in the UK.
Thanks
XYZ

Dear UKBA,
I am on Tier1 General Visa, arrived in the UK within 3 months of my Tier1 application approval, but in terms of days it appears to be the 91st day since getting T1 visa.
Please can you advice if I am still eligible for this qualifying period while applying for ILR. I can see ÿour documentation states "The period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK may be counted toward the qualifying period, as long as it does not exceed 90 days. This can occur if the applicant is delayed travelling to the UK. The period of delay will not be counted as an absence if it does not exceed 90 days."
Am I correct to translate above statement that my absence is not exceeding 90 days, I was in the UK on 91st day and therefore I can include this period in ILR?
Visa type: Tier1 General
Visa approval in India: 23/03/2010
Date entered UK: 22/06/2010
