ILR online application date vs premium appointment date? Please advice.

[Timetraveller83]

Dear members,
My I ask for your expertise regarding the following query
.
I'm due to apply for ILR in October 2018 based on 5 years residency on Tier 2 General. My first tier 2 leave was granted on 14/11/2013. So based on the calculations the 5 years complete on 14/11/2018 then minus 28 days, means the earliest I can apply is on/aftee the 17th October 2018.

The issue is, I have submitted my online application today the 5th September and booked the premium service appointment to be the 17th October.

My question is, which date is going yo be treated as the application date? Is it the date on which I appear in person for the appointment ( which is within the qualifying period), or is it the date when I submitted the online application ?

Note: I have gone through the forum to try and find an answer by someone who has been in the situation before, but I couldn't find a confirmed answer.


Thanks ,
The Timetraveller

This has been answered many times before. The date of your application will be the date of attending the appointment at the PSC.
