Help with timeline for SET(M) application

[tensailee]

Dear all, I'd really appreciate it if you could help me with this simple query!


I was issued (outside the UK) with an Entry Clearance (or Leave to Entre) based on marriage/CP, which is valid from 05/09/2007, and expires on 05/09/2009.


I arrived at London Heathrow 10 days after the start date of my visa, on 15/09/2007 (stamped by immigration on arrival).


Question is: when will I be able to apply for ILR using SET(M)?


Does the normal 28-day rule still apply (i.e. can only apply for extension/ILR up to 28 days before the expiry date of current leave)?


If so, is it 28 days before 05/09/2009, or 28 days before 15/09/2009?


Thanks so much!!! :0)
