You will have to go for 2nd extension (according to my understanding)rubina20102010 wrote:Dear all,
Last week, I have got my passport back with Tier-1 Extension for next 3 years .
Now I am bit confuse about what I have to do next.
I had got my HSMP visa on 13-March-2008 and enter to UK on 27-April-2008 after 45 DAYS.
According to current rule DO I need to apply for 2nd extension or direct to ILR??????
Any reply or comment much appreciated !!!!

Not necessary, you can apply for ILR as soon as you meet the criteria.devendranadh.b wrote:Hi,
I may also fall in the same situation
My HSMP visa is valid from 02nd May, 2008 till 02nd May, 2010 and I applied for my Tier1 General Extension. I entered UK on 19th July, 2008. So from the above post, hope I may also need to go for second extension. But my question now is
HSMP Visa - 02nd May, 2008 to 02nd May, 2010 (Entered UK on 19th July, 2008)
Tier1 Extension - 02rd May, 2010 to 02nd May, 2013 (Applied, Waiting for approval)
Tier1 Extension ??? - Need to apply as I entered UK after 28 days initially on HSMP
When I am applying for ILR do I need to wait till my 2nd extension reaches its expiry date? as I should not apply for ILR until I have 28days for expiry of current visa?
Please clarify my doubt.
Thanks,

Thats true but, devendranadh.b was asking about 2nd extension. One can fulfil the requirement of 5yrs after the second extension and can apply for ILR as soon as he fulfils the requirement and he doesn't have to wait till the expiry of his second extension. What do u say?Sushil-ACCA wrote:HO procedure allows only 28 days time period to enter from date of visa stamparuni4470 wrote:why not??Sushil-ACCA wrote:in theorey and practical it is not possible to meet time line of 5 years to apply for ILRaruni4470 wrote:

True. Not disputing with it. But, what devendranadh.b asked was different and I was responding to his question.[iD] wrote:Agree to SushilSushil-ACCA wrote:HO procedure allows only 28 days time period to enter from date of visa stamparuni4470 wrote:why not??Sushil-ACCA wrote:

He's 2 months and 17 days short of qualifying 5 years. HO wouldn't allow you to be short of 5 years by anything more than 28 days
oh should have read that. No he doesn't have to wait for the expiry of his 2nd extension. He can apply for ILR as soon as he reaches 5 years or 4 years 11 months.aruni4470 wrote:Thats true but, devendranadh.b was asking about 2nd extension.

When you filled in the Tier 1 General applicationfor 2nd second extension, what have you chosen for the following question?rubina20102010 wrote:Dear ALL,
Thank you very much for your gr8 replies !!!!Well, I have a question about my English section.
I haven't submitted IELTS during my Initial Application.
At the time of 1st Extension , I have Submitted IELTS with 6.5 Band.
Now, My Question is
DO I need another IELTS certificate for my 2nd Extension (because current one will be get expiry with in 2 YEARS and this shouldn't be valid for my 2nd extension) ????
Any reply much appreciated!!!!!

Select how the applicant would like to claim points for English language:
I do not think they always give 3 years from the date of Stamping. I know a WP/Tier 2 extension case where even though the FLR was issued after the expiry, the visa was valid for 3 years from the date of the current expiry.There is a way to address the shortage problem, if the gap is small, by appling for the 1st extn very close to the expiry date. Typically home office takes around 2-3 weeks to process the application and the extnsion is valid from the day they approve it. In effect you can manage a gap of of 28+ (10 to 15) days if you are lucky.
I don't think this is the case.yes, you need to complete IELTS with 6.5 band overall.
This case is exception. Usually visa is extended for 3 years from the expiry of your last visa regardless of the application date.tierext123 wrote:Please see post under Tier extn from one member. For Tier 1 looks like the visa is not backdated.
