I see that this is not new to some board users. I was not looking into the board for a month.

It was a bit cloudy before, but now the policy document explicity cover "delayed travel".

Hi there, I have no clue what you are trying to say here. Could you please clarify it a little bit? It seems to be very important, as I recently found an issue, my residence permit was issued 13/08/08, but it's valid until 08/08/13, so less than 5 years (literally 5 days short). I know we can apply ILR 28days prior to visa expiry, but if the period is less than full 5 years, I am probably not eligible to apply for ILR? what do you think mate? I have no idea why there is 5 days short in my visa. By the way my Work Permit was granted for 5 years (permanent job).varghesejim wrote:Just noticed the policy document changed so that if your travel date is within 3 months of the visa start date you need not extend the visa twice before ILR.You can calculate 5 years from Visa start date.

I think this is not much of an issue. You can anyway apply 28 days before 5 years. You might want to send a mail to HO and attach the response with the ILR application.jeffreychen83 wrote:I think I get you now. I just read another thread with a concern about the gap between entry clearance date and the actual date of entry.
But if you could still answer my question, it would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
