28 days rules

[benneviss]

People would be aware that the new Set(o) form and its guidance both are now available on HO website.

After going through the guidance it is very clear that no changes in 28 days rule.

I hope this will clear all our doubts and an ambiguity we had in past few weeks.

Yes , you can apply within 28 days of your earlier approval date.

No need to take any extension .

Good Luck

Is it 'within 28 days' or 'No more than 28 days'?

within 28 days - 28th day will be excluded from the date you can apply
No more than 28 days - 28th day is included

Above is my understanding, seniors can confirm.

I am also confused about calculating 28-day period, and would appreciate words of wisdom from senior members.

I am about to make set (M) ILR next month, but I'm really confused about exactly when I can make appointment.

My pre-July 2012 FLR(M) (Was on a student visa and changed to FLR (M) after marriage) expires on 30th May 2014. I used the date calculator website which frequently appears in this forum, and when I subtracted 28, the result showed 2 May 2014. I am not sure whether it means I can apply "from" 2 May or I can do so "after" then. The new Set (M) guidance note says, "Please do not apply more than 28 days before completing that period."
