"They will 'sit' on the application till the missing days have elapsed, and then issue the new SET visa. You are automatically extended while in application. More than 90 days and you have to get a FLR (further leave to remain) visa to cover the missing period or apply for an extension in the catagory of your existing or other visa."
From what I understand from this is that if you enter between 28 days and 90 days, say 40 days for example, then when you apply for ilr after 5 years, they will postpone your application processing by 12 days (40-28=12) (which he means by 'sitting' on the visa application) and you will get ilr in 5years+12 days. So effectively you are automatically extended by 12 days (which he says 'automaticaly extended while in application').
However, if you enter after 90 days, then you must apply for another visa extension (which he says FLR or some other extension), to cover the missing days (90+ days).
So effectively, it seems to me that if you enter within 90 days then you don't need to apply for additional extension. Whatever days are missing (<90 days) will be adjusted by the same number of days, when you apply for ilr.
what say?
