Leave to Remain

[isaac2k2]

Hi All

My renewal date for indefinite leave to remain is drawing near and would advise from those who have already completed theirs.

I got my visa in march 2007 and did not leave the country until august 2007 (about 5months later).

After 3yrs, I applied for renewal which was initially refused as I did not know about the funds to have in account for up to 12months but after seeing a Judge who accepted my case since I had the funds offshore, my extension was granted on September 2010 (I lost almost 5months between march 2010 when the first visa was due until Sept 2010 when it was extended).

Now I am planning to ensure that I do not make same mistake again for the leave to remain. So can anyone assist with when I need to file my application and anything else I need to have ready for a smooth renewal.

Thanks

Mods, can this be moved to posts for ILR?

Isaac2k2, please can you be more specific in your timelines? Let us have the following bits of information;

What visa category you were initially issued

Exact date entry clearance (EC) was granted

Date you arrived the UK under the visa category

Date your current visa expires

With these, members will be able to advise of when you would need to apply for ILR.


Kind regards,

Adojay
