Absolutely not! But only because there is no 31st day of November! I think you might need to wait until 01/12/2005!if I entered the country on 01/12/1995, can the "expiry date" be 31/11/2005?
oops! Ididn't think of that. I read the text over and over again checking everything was ok before posting, and now look what I've done.John wrote: Absolutely not! But only because there is no 31st day of November! I think you might need to wait until 01/12/2005!
I have been legally staying in the country as far as I know. Though they were all various different statuses, visitor, student and WP, but all legal, as I left the country before the visa expired each time of renewal, thus not spending any time in the country illegally.John wrote: From what you write at no time whatsoever during the 10-year period were you in breach of any immigration regulation. That is, it appears you were "legal" at all times.
However, if you were "illegal" at any time, even for one day, then a 10-year application should not be made.
Submission of an application 28 days before the expiry of the relevant leave to remain is part of the Home Office operational policy to protect applicants where an application is deemed not valid such that appropriate corrections can be made and the application re-submitted in time. Technically the rules in this application category pertain to a legal residence of 10 years which in this instance the 28 day period impacts on. For this reason it is best to apply one day after 10 years unless to do so (wait) would make you illegal.summer_orange wrote:anyway, I understand it as it is possible to make an application 28 days prior to the end of my 10-year stay, given that my 10-year stay was all legal.
I see. Because the form to apply to ILR is shared with other types of application (such as 4-year completion of WP) and mentions that applicants can make application 28 days before, I just assumed that it would suit my situation as well, but it is much clearer now.Kayalami wrote:Submission of an application 28 days before the expiry of the relevant leave to remain is part of the Home Office operational policy to protect applicants where an application is deemed not valid such that appropriate corrections can be made and the application re-submitted in time.

I don't have my passports handy at the moment, but when I have chance, I will dig out and try to get as much details as possible...john wrote:Hi, I think it might be useful if you give your full UK visa history since you first came here in 1995.
In each instance please ... type of visa .... when UK entered ... when UK left ... and therefore the time between each departure and re-arrival.
I look forward to reading that detail. After all, until we know that detail it is impossible to say with any certainty whether you might qualify under the 10-year rule.I don't have my passports handy at the moment, but when I have chance, I will dig out and try to get as much details as possible...
Hi,flyez wrote:Also, review your absent history in the past 10 year to see any individual absences period was over 90 days (3 days)? If so, based on what reason to make you escape temporarily? as SET(O) form for ILR will ask this.
Unfortunately, the gap between visas can be as long as nearly 2 months as I stated above, and the reason is simple. The visa was due for renewal and therefore I left the country and came back in to renew, which was fairly standard thing to do back then for a visa renewal. (which I mentioned in the previous post)flyez wrote:Also, the visa should be continuous/overlap all the time in the past 10-year. A short distribution period (usually under 1 month) should be ok/acceptable by case-worker but better to remind them the renewal application has been sent soon after the previous visa was due- they can understand that its reasonable that it may take several days, even 1-2 weeks to process the application , and then they will treat your visa is still continuous.
I am not sure as I have moved more than a few times and along the way, a few unfortunate has happened and lost some of the documents, though if I scavenge what's left I'm certain I can find something to back up my stay in the U.K. during the time.flyez wrote:as many as you can (it can prove you live in the uk all the time) such as student certificate, water/gas/phone bill
