Hi,
I am applying for my ILR application this week and just wanted to check something. I first entered the UK under Tier1 general on 26th Jan 2009. However, I had been living in the country on a HSMP dependent visa before I left the country to switch into Tier 1 (general) category and seek entry clearance. Unfortunately, when I first arrived into the country on my new Tier 1(general) visa on 26th Jan 2009, the immigration officer incorrectly put the stamp against my old dependent work permit visa which was still valid at the time. Now I am planning to apply for ILR based on my Tier 1 (general) visa which was valid from the 14th Jan 2009. I am just nervous about the mistake made by the immigration officer in stamping it against the old visa could have any implications on my ILR application.
Does the new visa automatically supersede the old visa on the passport? Do I need to collect any additional proof to prove that I had sought entry clearance on the new Tier 1 (general) visa and not the old dependent work permit visa which was still in date at the time? Does it even matter which page the entry clearance stamp is on?
I would really appreciate if I could get a reply as I am applying for ILR in the next couple of days.
Thanks in advance
