Thank you for the reply.
I have not posted any application but I have some doubts about my visa situation.
I got HSMP approval on 22 Nov 2006 (I applied before 6 Nov 06 but got approval on 22 Nov 06) and got visa stamping on Feb 14 2007 till Feb 14 2009. But I entered UK on 22 Apr 2007.
Then I applied for FLR in Jan 2009 and got visa extension as Tier 1 (General) till 14 Feb 2012.
The UKBA letter says that this is sufficient to take me to qualifying threshold.
But as I entered UK 67 days afte getting initial visa stamping, I am falling short by 39 days to complete 5 year period.
The rules say that we have to complete 5 years before we apply for ILR.
But, as stated above, the letter from UKBA says that this is sufficient to take me to qualifying threshold.
HSMP FORUM LTD JUDICIAL REVIEW POLICY DOCUMENT says taht -
Migrants who currently hold HSMP leave and have either applied for an extension of stay or will need to do so in the future
8.
The requirements for an extension of stay will be those that were in place before 7 November 2006.
9.
If an applicant meets these requirements we will grant them:
a.
Three years’ leave; or
b.
Enough leave to enable the applicant to complete the qualifying period for settlement,
whichever is the greater
Both are conflicting and I want to write to them asking them what is correct.
So, is the address which you have given above correct for this purpose. Please clarify.
Thank you.
