5-year continuous stay requirement - SET(O)

[hsmp28122006]

Hi Gurus,

I can see this from caseworker's guidance document (that applies to me as I'm Tier-1 visa holder):

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... chapter6a/

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.

Has anyone been in this situation and was granted an ILR recently? Please share your experience!

Thx!

I am in the same situation, my visa is due to expire in March 2012.

Could some body who is/was in the same situation share their experience if they have applied for ILR.

Thanks
Chakri

Ok, seems like at least two people have gone through this situation in this forum, with no problem!:
