Hi GMG M wrote:Hello guys... will be great to see your responses on my query below.
I will be submitting my ILR 10 years continuous application soon IA!
My query is when is the earliest i can submit my application for ILR.
My entry clearance date was 02/07/2005 but my first visa issue date was 28/05/2005 so basically i arrived UK 5 weeks after the visa was issued.
Please if you could kindly tell me whether i can apply 28 days before the issue date which is 28/05/2005 or should i apply 28 days before the first entry to UK which is 02/07/2005.
Your responses will be greatly appreciated.

I am thrilled to announce to you that i have just signed and received my ilr brp this afternoon. I had a one year gap due to Pankina ruling but I argued that I made every effort to obey the immigration rule and that it was the H O's error that caused the gap. It was a straight forward application and the whole process took 4 months. Please find below my timeline:
Application posted-06 Dec 2014
Acknowledgement rcvd: 12 Dec 2014
Bio invite letter: 20 Dec 2014
Bio enrolled: 29 Dec 2014
Documents returned: 18 March 2015
BRP received: 19 March 2015
If your issue with 10 yr long res. is a gap due to Pankina ruling only you can apply through lawyers if you have several hundreds of pounds to dash but if you were down to zero like me(which was indirectly due to this Pankina issue anyway) you can apply on your own and just point to them that it was their fault. The law is on your side. Best wishes to you all.

I just called home office on 0300 123 2241 (ext 5) and they clearly told me that you can apply 28 days before the issue date if the entry clearance was made within 90 days of the issue date.
which also matches the information displayed here:

Q17a - I entered UK 40 days after the date of issue of entry clearance. Are these 40 days counted as absence?
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. If the delay is more than 90 days, none of the period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK can be included in the continuous period calculation.
Yes at the time of issue, the card is valid for 10 years. ILR itself does not expire per se, however, should you decide to keep your current nationality and ILR, you should update the photo on the card. 10 years seems to be long enough time to change facial description. However, if you wish and if you are eligible, you may apply for naturalisation and then a British passport. The British passport is valid for 10 years too, , and of course you then renew it.saleem19k wrote:By the grace of almighty Allah I received my Bio Metric Card today after approval & documents.
quick question expiry date has been mentioned on card 12/3/2025 valid for 10 years. It's just me or everyone getting 10 years on card.
My friend told me at heathrow airport asking so many question even though you got Ilr. (true or not)

I had my interview video conference today at London Paddington. It was for only 10 mins asked questions about my English test which I took in Pakistan about 11 years back. Finally he said no need to worry you will get reply in 2 to 4 weeks max and then you can carry on doing what you want to do in UK. I hope I get reply soon now InshAllah.
Got luck to all those still waiting. I'll update once i get a response from HO.
