1. U can apply 28 days before completing the required period.jeffreychen83 wrote:I was shocked.........really really shocked........
I got my WP granted in July 2008 for 5 years (Permanent job, but 5 years period is the maximum for WP). I then applied for my WP visa and got my visa back in Aug 2008. I didn't really pay attention to the "day" because the numbers are comfusing, I just think it's 5 years visa between Aug 2008 and Aug 2013.
Today, I read my Passport today and found that
VALID UNTIL 08 AUG 13
DATE OF ISSUE 13 AUG 08
So literally it's 5 DAYS LESS than 5 years!!!.........How on earth could that happen? They don't like me? Is it too late to argue? What should I do now?
Hi mate, thanks for your reply. I know but I am worried about that the visa is literally 5 days less than 5 years, whether case worker will refuse it just because of this reason? I think the visa should have full 5 years period. They also require FULL 5 years (although you can apply it 28 days prior to expiry).2012 wrote:

1. If that is the case then it is HO who made the mistake and not you.jeffreychen83 wrote:Hi mate, thanks for your reply.

No, not yet. I just found the issue today.2012 wrote:1. If that is the case then it is HO who made the mistake and not you.jeffreychen83 wrote:Hi mate, thanks for your reply.

2. Have u inquired about it with HO?
I hope so, but I still want to clarify it with Home Office cos what I am thinking is only FULL 5 years will be eligible for ILR, my visa doesn't show FULL 5 years, so my future ILR's case worker might refuse my application straightaway due to this reason. Although i can apply 28 days in advance, but the fact is it is a not FULL 5 years visa.vinny wrote:Probably a typing error. Shouldn't affect your ILR application, as you may apply up to 28 days prior to completion of your qualifying period.
