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 are --
* Since I entered within 90 days of initial grant, my ILR elegibility date will be 28 days from 20 April 2015 >
* Are we allowed to have 180 days (in total) out of uk in whole 5 years or is it 180 days every year ?
* My wife joined me as dependent on 25 Nov 2011, her dependent visa was granted on 15 nov 2012, can she apply ILR with me or will she need FLR ?
* Do we need to prove any points while we ask ILR like Tier 1 G, I am asking this as i think, ILR is not a PBS and hence only requirement is to be in UK Legally for 5 years
* What tests do we need to give for ILR ? Afaik, I need to give life in uk test and my wife needs to give life in uk and english test.
I know most ofthese queries will sounds obvious but its always assuring to have a responce.....
Thanks in Advance...

From your post it looks like you are 5 days behind.

You should have LTR till 20 April 2015
You will require another extension.
Thanks,
Yes you can but your LTR expires 15th April and you dont meet 5 full yrs i.e from 20th April 2010 to 20Th April 2015muditmalhotra wrote:argus7 wrote:

But if i apply 28 days before 20 april .. m i not ok ?
Its too late now, Didnt you check this when you got the BRP cards last year? Best is to seek profession lawyers on this case or go for early extension.muditmalhotra wrote: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 ?
You can, Also Tier 1 General is becoming expensive and only for the rich, esp contractorsmuditmalhotra wrote: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 ....
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 !"sky2020 wrote:I think you will be OK and can apply 28 days before 20 april, Just write to UKBA for more confirmation and proof instead of going for any extensions.

That is fine only if LTR expires on 20th April 2015sky2020 wrote:I think you will be OK and can apply 28 days before 20 april, Just write to UKBA for more confirmation and proof instead of going for any extensions.

Did you see the table of dates.muditmalhotra wrote:Pg 19 says about absence doesnt say about when can one apply ILR... m i missing something here ?
Agreed, This holds true only if ones' visa (LTR) is valid till late date of the 5th yr. so in case of OP it should be 20th April 2015 and not 15th April 2016, clearly he is short of 5 days.sky2020 wrote:Condition is Valid Visa once you eligible, so either 28 days before EC (if under 90 days rule or landing date). Since he came under 90 days so he can apply 28 days before EC, and on the day once he eligible should have valid visa.
