Have to say, seems slightly odd. But if it ain't broken, I would prefer not to try and fix it!
If you think it was issued in an error, remember that if it always better to fix it.
I have read numerous cases in this very board, where people have been issued visas wrongly in spite of the fact that it was the mistake of the caseworker or the IND or ABC or XYZ or BIA or whatever it is called now
It is an estabilished thing i think that case workers can always do serious mistakes and it is always that the innocent will pay for it, no matter what.
Anyway, if you have any bit of doubt that a visa was issued wrongly, even if it was not your mistake, i would defenitely advise you to check it up with the issueing authority, no matter what.
But its upto you!
As for this ILE, the phrase is just a joke!
Indefenite leave to Enter
expiring in two years! Ha!
Why can't they use the same phrase Indefenite leave to Enter and then somewhere in the same sticker they can say, the person should use this to first enter the UK before such and such date, rather than simply saying expiring on XXXX. There is always so much space in the vista sticker to write so much about not to use public funds, approval from secretary of state for change of employment, blah blah blah... all that thing!
Not only you, this has actually confused even the Airport staff, i read this one case in this forum.
The guy had ILE and he had already entered the UK using that one, effectively making it an ILR. He then sometime later was coming back to UK after holidays the next time, and the Airport staff did not allow him to board the plane to UK just because they saw that the
ILE had expired this time (because of this expiry limit thing on it), although he is effectively holding an
ILR (he had activated his ILR by entering the UK once with the ILE within its 2 years time).
But no! He had to get some stupid letter from teh UK consulate to prove that he actually had an ILR although that stupid sticker in his passport conveyed a totally different meaning.
ILE expring in 2 years. Rubbish english phrase to use.[/quote]
