First of all my big thanks to all in this forum. I just got my tier 1 extension successfully by following advices from here. Now I m into a new trouble. I am falling short of 30 days for 5 year completion for ilr. So, I m falling out of 28 days window by 2 days. I did spend a whole day searching this forum, google to find a way out for this. No luck so far. I did an in country shift from psw to tier 1
I have read quite contradicting , misleading info.
Have any of you come across such a situation? Pllll help... I can't imagine applying for an extension just for two days
Exact dates:
Tier 1 initial - 19 may 2011 - 19 may 2013
Applied extn on 27 mar 2013
Tier 1 extn : 19 apr 2013 - 19 apr 2016
As you can see, I am falling short of 30 days.

yes, i can make my application close to the expiry. But, i came across the UKBA guidance and few other posts in this forum which said the ilr eligibility period will be counted uptil the date i posted my application and not when the decision is made.
Can you please advice if its application date or the date of decision?
Also how good are the chances to vary my application to ILR after submitting it for an extension? I couldnt find much info about varying the application. will be great if you can tell me if i need to pay again for varying my application.
No worries mate, the purpose of this forum is to help each other by sharing the knowledge and information which is being fulfilled. I am on the same boat and understand your situation. I applied 3 months before my qualifying date with the hope that my turn will come at least 3 months, Lets see how things going...kavya29 wrote:Many many thanks go2khurram i am a lotttt relieved after reading your post!!!! i will sleep peacefully today after having lost a night's sleep yesterday I have understood that now. i think the bit i have highlighted below is the perfect answer for my confusion..
the continuous period will be counted backwards from the date of application. If however whilst awaiting decision, the applicant has reached or exceed the required 5 year period, the application would not fall for refusal as they would be considered to have met the requirement.
May I please ask you the email address that you wrote to to get this response? Great thanks once again!!

Hi kavya29, I am in exactly similar situation as yours but going to apply for ILR in this April. Have you received your ILR ?kavya29 wrote:Just an update on my case. I didn't want to risk my gap of few days. So, I applied for extension first and then varied my application to ILR. Got back extension application fee but yet to get NHS surcharge back.
Been six months and have just received interview request which is a separate problem on its own.
I assume you applied for extension and then varied 28 days before 19 May 2016. So you are waiting now for a year?kavya29 wrote:No, I'm still waiting.
