yes you are correct. next extension will be 3 years. But apply via postal and mention covering letter saying 245(b) rule and ask them to give extension for 3 years. then it should be fine for you.sharpattack wrote:Hello, I have an interesting situation...
First applied for Tier 1 General :
11/2008 (3 years)
Extended for two years:
11/2011 ( 2 years)
I then took a job in Australia for 16 months (11/2011 - 04/2013)
Extended for three years again under T1(G):
11/2013 ( 3 years)
SO.. my continuous leave was broken, I accept that. That means that my qualifying period for continous leave is:
04/2013 - 04/2018
BUT, with extensions being stopped from 04/2015 - am I able to get further three year extension?? If so, I will just make it to 2018, where I can then apply for ILR. That would be apply well in advance of when my current leave expires. But if they will give me a further 3 years then it will be okay. I will post my application in next March.
My other option is to switch to spouse visa ( I am married to british citizen), but that would start my 5 year period again, which I don't want to do.
Please help if you can advise on what the policy is. I think everyone applying next April should get extended for further three years.

This text is the most unclear amongst all other ukba / ukvi documentation I have come across.bond.boy203 wrote:a) Leave to remain will be granted for a period of 2 years, to an applicant who has, or was
last granted, leave as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant under the Rules in place before 6 April
2010.
The key here is last granted, so his last granted was post 2010 and there has been number of instances in this forum where people have got 3+2+3. Just do random search and you will find it.
Are you granted a 3 year visa on your second extension where rules before 6 April 2010 were applied? How did you explain to the case worker? I am in very similar case to require a 3 year on 2nd extension to meet 5 consecutive years requirement.haiksuresh wrote:For my case 2nd extension they gave me 2 years, And then i wrote a letter to caseworker saying about this rule. Then they corrected my duration sent a new BRP.
