Need info on dates mentioned on Visa

[Pavankumar123]

Hi

Can any one help me with this query

Background of the Query:
I got my Initial HSMP Visa which is
Valid from 08/Feb/2008
Valid To 08/Feb/2010

And then I applied for my visa extension (Tier1 - General) in Jan 2010 and visa was granted with the dates(Payment was deducted by Home office on 27th Jan 2010)

Valid From: 17/Feb/2010
Valid Till: 17/Feb/2013

Queries:
1.Why the New visa is issued from 17th Feb 2010 instead of issuing it with Valid from date as 9th Feb 2010?
2.Will it be considered as a gap between Visas’s when I Apply for ILR. If yes how can I get that corrected.
3. will this be considered as visa continuity issue?

Thanks
Pavan

You do not need to worry, this is perfectly normal. Your passport was processed on the 17th, hence the new visa date (they do not backdate but the important thing is you applied before the first visa expired - and they are aware of that).
