I am an HTMP visa holding and would be applying for ILR later this year. I was reading through the guide for the new forms and in section 5 for SET(0) it is written
I was of the opinion that the qualifying period starts from the moment applicant enters the country. Is there a change in policy here or am I reading it the wrong way.WHEN TO APPLY
You and any dependants included in your applicationmust
apply before the end of your/their permitted stay
in the UK. There is a qualifying period to complete in
most of the categories on this form. That period runs
from the date on which you were granted leave to enter
or remain in this capacity. Please do not apply more
than 28 days before completing that qualifying period.
If you apply earlier than that, your application may be
refused. If that happens, we will not refund the fee and
you will have to pay again when reapplying.
Thanks in advace
