Hi everyone
I find Immigration Board the best forum for helping immigrants seeking help and advice. Today, I thought that I should get some help as well. I am a Tier 2 (General) Immigrant and will apply for ILR in February 2014.
Please see my details below.
Initial Entry Clearance (Tier 2 General) outside the UK
- Issue date: 15.04.2009
- Entered UK: 02.06.2009 (47 days after issue date)
- Expiry date: 28.02.2012
I think the visa expiry date should have been 14.04.2012. This already makes me 45 days short of 5 years period don’t know why.
Extension (Tier 2 General) inside the UK
- Issue date: 02.05.2012
- Expiry date: 28.02.2014
As my visa is expiring on 28.02.2014, I am planning to take PEO Appointment in the first week of February, 2014 for making ILR application.
As I came within 90 days so my start date will be 15.04.2009. The five year continuous period should complete on 14.04.2014 and if I subtract 28 days from this date then I should apply on or after 18.03.2014 but my visa expiring on 28.02.3014.
Now can anyone advise if I am okay re 5 year continuous period? You can see about that it is because of UKBA that I am 45 days short.
Many thanks.
