Dear Experienced Friends
Although I was quite confident, recently I received different opinions from different colleagues/friends.
Your inputs/suggestions would be of great value to me.
What is the earliest date I can apply for ILR?
OR
Should I go for another extension?
Below are all the relevant dates:
Tier 1 General Visa Valid from: 16 Apr, 2010
Date of entry into UK: 08 May, 2010
Was outside of the UK for
14 Sep 2011 to 15 Sep 2011
15 Oct 2011 to 17 Oct 2011
01 Apr 2012 to 03 Apr 2012
13 Jan 2013 to 03 Feb 2013
Tier 1 General Date of expiry: 16 Apr, 2013
Date application posted for Extension: 20 Mar, 2013
Date (new) leave to remain was valid from: 11 Apr, 2013
Date (new) leave to remain is valid until: 11 Apr, 2015
Although I had applied by post, and within the 28 days before visa was due to expire - my leave to remain is granted only until 11 Apr 2015 which is 5 days short for completion of 5 years (ideally should be 16 Apr 2015).
Many thanks,
Kind Regards
Krishna
