I think your timer starts from your visa data as it is in-country application.credit64 wrote:Thanks for reply.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
* I posted the initial Tier 1 (G) application on 31 March 2010. I used 31 March 2010 as start time on Tier 1 Extension application which was ok with the case worker. Shouldn't I start calculating time for ILR application form same date(31 March 2010) instead of when the actual visa was given (15 April 2010)?

I am confused as PBS calculator help for Date of application says:I think your timer starts from your visa data as it is in-country application.
This is to establish which rules will be applicable for age/qualification etc.credit64 wrote:I am confused as PBS calculator help for Date of application says:
Date of application
For applications made from inside the UK this will be taken to be:
*where the application form was sent by post, the date of posting; or
*where the application form was sent by courier, the date on which it was delivered to the UK Border Agency or the Home Office; or
*where the application form was submitted in person at a Public Enquiry Office, the date on which the application and associated payment was accepted.
IMHO, this is incorrect. But wait for someone else to commentcredit64 wrote:
Initial visa was granted for 3 Years (15 April 2010 - 15 April 2013) and
Extension is granted for 2 Years (11 March 2013 - 11 March 2015)
Which make 5 years and I should not count days from 15 April 2010 to 11 March 2015 directly but duration of the visa granted.

Croydon contact centre
The Croydon contact centre can provide information about the Immigration Rules' requirements for permission to stay and settlement in the UK. They cannot provide estimated completion dates for applications.

It is often easier to get through later in the day. The cost of your call will vary depending on your network provider, and it is likely that calls from mobile phones will cost considerably more.

Apply by post for an extension before leave expires then vary to SET(O) on 01-May-2014.ryans wrote:I am in a similar situation but confused ... not sure what to say or do.
Initial Tier -1 Start date: 2nd Feb 2009
Arrived in UK: 30th May 2009 (118 days late)
Extended Tier -1: 14th March 2012
Tier -1 Expiry: 14th March 2014
Eligible for ILR on 30th May -28 days = 1st May 2014
There is this gap of roughly 1.5 months and hence I am not sure whether to extend or apply for ILR
