I applied and paid online few days back but appointment I selected is 14th Jan 2019. Based on my qualifiying period.bookerw100 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 4:47 pmwhen did you apply and pay online?
I thought the date of application would be the date you attend your appointment as if you have purchased additional services like documents check etc would be pointless if UKVI have already started looking at the case.
Thanks but my question is what date would they consider either my online submission or date of appointment.shankar981 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 5:03 pmYou may find some information on Discretion in page 24:

PS: I 'm not an expert on this subject. i'm just sharing what I came across when I read the documentation a couple of days ago to understand how the absences are computed.
HO procedures do not allow to waive the requirement of physical presence. The workaround is that applicants may get a letter requesting them to "redate" the application. This usually happens when someone was on a short holiday abroad 3/5 years before the application date. But if someone applies ridiculously early, they just refuse the application.makky86 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 6:00 pmThanks but my question is what date would they consider either my online submission or date of appointment.shankar981 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 5:03 pmYou may find some information on Discretion in page 24:

may be ... normally its the date home office recieve the application. I literally thought would be the date of appointment with SOPRA ! lets seeshankar981 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 6:43 pmBased on the past posts in this group, my understanding is that the date of payment of fee online is the date of the application.

It is not "HO procedures", it is the law.jgreen6123 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 6:14 pmHO procedures do not allow to waive the requirement of physical presence.
Do you think they'll apply discretion on my case as I applied earlier than qualifying period by couple of days but the appointment is next week?secret.simon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 7:27 pmIt is not "HO procedures", it is the law.jgreen6123 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 6:14 pmHO procedures do not allow to waive the requirement of physical presence.
Section 1(2)(a) of Schedule 1 of the British Nationality Act 1981 lays down the physical presence requirement. Section 2 lists the requirements that discretion can be exercised regarding. And physical presence is not one of them.
Home office received the case today that means I am literally short by one day qualifying period. But then I was no in the UK until 11th Jan 5 years back ! I cannot believe I made this mistake.secret.simon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 7:36 pmIf it is just a matter of the ILR acquisition being out of date by a day, it is highly likely (not certain though) that they will exercise discretion, provided you meet all other requirements.
Wait, you haven't been in the UK 5 years ago? I would think that's even more serious than your 1 day till ILR problem!makky86 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 7:39 pmHome office received the case today that means I am literally short by one day qualifying period.

Well lets see if I get good case worker or not otherwise £1300 will be wasted !
It depends if they consider the date of applicat of the date I'll submit the docs through sopra or not !!Hioru wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 7:45 pmWait, you haven't been in the UK 5 years ago?

If you haven't been physically present in the UK 5 years ago, they will either reject your application or use discretion and sent you a letter to redeclare your application (you put a signature again) and that would replace the old date of the application.
All I can say is, best of luck.
I feel the same. Well Unfortunately I cnanot do much.
