Earliest elligible date to apply ILR

[subswai]

Hi,

I am currently on Tier 2 ICT visa which is valid till 12/2/2016. Here is my details:

My first visa stamping date: 05-MAR-2010
Date to enter in UK: 22-MAR-2010
Current VISA expired on: 12-FEB-2016

Can you please let me know what is the earliest date, I can go for ILR.

Regards,
Subhasis

After 22nd Feb

Krish, your info is wrong.

He was granted visa on 5th March 2010 as his 5 years are going to be completed on 5th March 2015 - he entered UK within 90 days and thus he can apply on or after 5th Feb 2015.

28 days prior to his 5 yrs eligibility(05/03/2015).

I hope this help.

Thanks tier1o,

I am also under impression that I can apply after 05-Feb-2015. But when I contacted UKBA enquiry, they said that 28 days prior rule is only applied to the person, whose current VISA is getting expired in 5 years. But as my current VISA is valid till 12-FEB-2016, I am not elligible to obtain '28 days before rule'. So I need to apply only after completing 5 years. Which means I have to wait till 05-MAR-2015, before going to apply for ILR.
I have already booked an appointment in 17-FEB-2015. But now not sure, whether I should go or wait till 05-MAR-2015.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

No, It is one of the person told over the phone, I have not got any written information,

But the question is can I apply on 17-FEB-2015 or I have to wait till 05-MAR-205 as My current VISA is valid till 2016?
