''eligibility For Ilr'' ......please Help

[kirolosbasha]

Hi All,

I am writing to you in the hope that somebody can answer my query as illustrated below

In brief, I am a Tier 01(General) visa holder. I got my visa clearance on 08.11.2010, it was valid till 08.11.2012. My first entry to the UK was on 05.03.2011.Currently, I am having Leave to remain valid till 28.01.16.

My query is:-

• Will I be eligible for applying for ILR by 28.01.16 or by 28.02.16? or I will be needing for another extension ?

*Period of Absences from U.K

17.07.2013 - 04.08.2013 = 18 leaves
29.03.2011 – 18.05.2011 = 49 leaves
Total – 67 leaves

I appreciate your help in advance

Cheers,
Kirolos

Based on your first entry, you will be eligible for ILR 28 days before completing your 5 year period which will be 06/02/2016....
