Residence Permit
Date of issue: 01 SEP 2010
If you mean visa valid from date, then no sooner than 28 days before this date.
Did you apply for Tier 2 in the UK?

As far as I am aware, it is the visa start date.
What was your visa category before Tier 2?

Before Tier 2, my visa was Post Study Work.
My doubt is that my initial work start was 01 August 2010, so I complete 5 years at this job on 31 July 2015. So can I apply anytime in July 2015?
Thanks

It is 5 years in the relevant qualifying visa category, not 5 years in the job.
It will be from the visa issue date.

Dear CR001 and team,
01 SEP 2010 - this is the issue date on my Residence permit for my initial Tier 2 (General) application.
I complete 5 years on this Visa on 31 AUG 2015. Is this correct?
If yes, can we apply for ILR on 04 AUG 2015?
Thanks a lot in advance for your reply.

Dear CR001,
As you may know - I am on Tier 2 (General) visa and will apply for ILR in 1st week of AUG.
On page 58 (Section 10 - Biometric Residence permit) of Set (O) form - 10.6 Place of issue: What should I write here?
fyi - our biometric was done at Croydon.
On page 60 -- 10.14 Give details where your fingerprints were taken, including the town or city and country:
It was done at Croydon, Lunar House.
What should I write in the answer?
Thanks and best regards
Aja
