Need help for ILR application.Urgent!!

Post by London_dreams » Fri May 10, 2024 12:30 pm

Hi Team,
My visa started on 25 March,2020 but unfortunately due to covid restriction, i couldn't travel to UK.

Arrived in UK on 13 Aug,2021 and my 5 year visa will expire on March,2025.My company will extend visa till Mar,2026.Will i be eligible for ILR in March,2026?

Counting backwards from date of application.Can the dates between(12 Aug,2021 to 25 March,2021) which is less than 180 days will be counted for my ILR application eventhough i was absent during that period.
Many Thanks in advance.

Your visa will expire in March next year. Why is that urgent if you have several months until the decisions have to be made?

What visa do you have? Is it is a skilled worker visa, a spouse visa or another visa?

Every different type of visa has different requirements and different rules.

Thank you for confirming,
One question,Is the date of entry matters for the continuous period calculation or it is always calculated backwards based on application date or decision date.Thanks
