HSMP valid date - ILR

[Spirea28]

Hi,

My initial HSMP entry clearance was valid from 28.08.07, and until 28.08.09. I didn't come to the UK until 12.09.07 (got a dated stamp of this on my entry clearance on my passport)

I am due to extend my HSMP now, if I get it, shall I request HO to give me an entry clearance with a valid date until 12.09.2012. If they give me until 28.08.2012 - I won't have a total of 5 years for ILR. Do you think I can request that?

Many thanks!

YES, you can request that thing in your cover letter, i saw on this board 2-3cases who requested and got their validity more than 1month from actual.. goodluck
