query regarding ILR based on new rules

[cpq.hims]

hello everyone,
i just saw this new section :


2.2 Applications that fall short of the five year continuous period
In some cases, applicants may have been granted 5 years continuous leave, but will not have spent 5 years continuously in the UK before their current leave expires. Caseworkers may count the period between entry clearance being granted and the date the applicant entered the UK towards the 5 years, provided this period was not longer than 3 months.


I am lil confused, and wanted to confirm that i was granted visa on 2nd june 2010 and i came to Uk on 18th august 2010, which is after 2months 16days....as per new rule would i be elligible to file for ILR after 5 years as they would count my entrance since it is less than three months?????

can you please clarify and thankss a lot!!!

True . You 2 months and 16 days will be considered in 5 years provided your visa expires on 2nd jun 2015. If your visa is until 18th Aug 2015 then that period will be automatically excluded.

Is this 3 month rule valid for the case below?

WP Entry clearance Stamped: 20/06/06. WP visa was initially granted for 2 years.

Entered in UK on WP: 10/09/06 i.e. entered within 3 months ( gap of approximately 80 days).

Switched over to Tier 1 General: 2 April 2008

Tier 1 Extension done: 11 March 2011 valid up to 11 March 2013.


So i am right in saying that I complete 5 years on 20/6/11? and can I apply 28 days before 20/6/11?

From the date i entered in UK, i already spent 175 days outside UK till date . Does one need to account 80 days above, from the entry clearance and date of entry, as an absence?

any advise on above please?
