Creating the application VS submitting it

[cristiano007]

Hi all

Let's say I am eligible to apply for ILR (route visa tier 2 general) on the 1st of July, which is 28 days before the 5 years of continuous residence.

Is it fine if I start the application now, filling out the forms, but only submitting it on the 1st July?
Or should I only start the application on the 1st of July.

Thanks for your help!
Best regards

Yes you can fill it from now and submit later
