This essentially means that the qualifying period for settlement (aka ILR) starts from the day you (physically) enter UK.pyke wrote:For applicants in long-term categories who are subject to either a qualifying period before applying for settlement, or to a limit on their total length of stay in that category (i.e. work permit holder and their dependants, UK ancestry, au pairs, and working holidaymakers), leave to enter should begin on the date they arrive in the UK (within the three month limit).
Requesting for a post-dated leave to enter (max. 3 months) is one thing, duration / validity of entry clearance another and actually entering UK yet another. What's worrying you? If you could explain a bit more clearly.
