Your ILR qualifying period started from 17/8/09 i.e. date if first entry in UK.aussielaowai wrote:Hi there
Got Tier 1 General 20/5/09 valid 3 years
Arrived UK 17/8/09
If I get the extension for further 2, will that be enough time to then apply for ILR? If not, can you extend a 2nd time for a few months to meet the requirement?
Am a little confused!
Thanks and best wishes. alw
If you dont qualify 5 years period started from 17/8/09 then you have to take another extension . As per present practice of HO, any extension for T-1 will be for 3 years regardless your requirement of only few months even only few days.chetanojha wrote:Your ILR qualifying period started from 17/8/09 i.e. date if first entry in UK.aussielaowai wrote:Hi there

Yes but there is nothing that you can do about it. Its natural to be a bit anxious but dont you think it is a bit pre-mature? Enjoy your stay for 3 years and see how things shape up when you hit the first extension date.aussielaowai wrote:hi again, thanks for your replies.
yes i can see that it would be 5 years from the 17/8/09.
But if the first visa is from 20/5/09 wouldn't the 2nd visa end 20/5/14. (from what I have read the extension is 2 years) leaving me just 3 mths short of the 5 years?
what would I do in this situation? Apply for a further extension?
thanks again,

Agree. You might need a second extension. I read in one post a couple of months ago that when it came to second extension, one of the applicants got 3yrs+2 months (?) extension citing similar reasons as yours. Its does not seem to be a norm though. While making such an important scenario, it is prudent to consider a worst case i.e. second extension scenario as well.aussielaowai wrote:yes I know its early! its just I do have some other options other than living in UK so I would hate to make any long term plans without knowing what it could mean. so does it seem likely to get 2 extensions? I am already early 30s so would be relying on income to get the points the 3rd time round.
