ILR calculating period for eligibility

[DependantPBS]

Hi Admin,

We (T1 Entr. Dependant + Child) are not clear with our ILR qualifying date. Main applicant got ILR through 5 year route on 28.02.2020

Which date do we qualify to apply for ILR application (under 28 days prior criteria)?

We applied inital visa outside the UK.

T1 Dependant Initial BRP card shows valid from 02.01.2019 to 13.07.2020
UK Entry Clearance Visa vignette on Passport shows valid from 16.01.19 to 15.02.19
Entered the UK (physically) on 22.01.2019 and collected BRP from post office on 22.01.2019
T1 Dependant Extension BRP card shows valid from 13.10.2020 to 13.10.2023

Looking forward to reply from Zimba, CR001 and other moderators.

The qualifying period for you and your dependents starts from the date the visa was issued.

So you can apply for ILR within 28 days before the 5th anniversary of the initial visa issue date or the BRP date if it is an earlier date.

Hi Admin,

I got my ILR visa.

Does the refund of previous varied PBS application fee and IHS surcharge happen automatically or do we need to contact them to request the refund?
If the refund doesn't happen automatically, is there any contact details that we can try them?
Please advise.
