I am really stressed that I just made a big blunder. I am on the 5-year route to ILR and currently on my first FLR (M) which is due to expire on the 7th of Jan, 2021. It was granted on the 7th of July, 2018. I am a new mom with an active baby who completely consumes my day and time. I usually am meticulous about researching stuff but this time i rushed with my application (probably as i finally managed to get some free time while baby was asleep) and ended up applying for the extension online and paid the fees today. Just realised that is 4 days too early than the recommended "apply no earlier than 28 days before expiry of visa." I should have applied online on 10th of Dec, 2020 or after. Have i completely messed up?? Am i going to be in big trouble when it comes to meeting the 60 month eligibility critera for ILR? What should i do now? I haven't yet booked the appointment for biometrics (i have apparanetly until 4th of February to submit bio). Should i cancel my application and re-apply (losing all my money) or am i ok to go ahead? Should i book my appointment as late as possible to meet the 60 month critera. So confused and in complete panic mode
