Applications that fall short of the five year continuous periodapvn wrote:I am in Tier 1 general visa. I am planning to apply for ILR this September 2012. After I got my entry clearance I entered UK after 2months, 28days (89 days). From one of the document related to ILR guidance I read that if the applicant enters the country with 3 months of the date of entry and date of issue of visa then he would be eligible for ILR after 4 years 11th month from the date of issue of entry clearance visa. Is this right? Do I need to do an extension and then do a ILR after 5 years completion? Please advice.
Initial UK Entry clearance: 25/10/2007
Date of entry to UK : 21/01/2008
Date of expiry of residence permit : 25/10/2012
thanks
Read this FAQapvn wrote:I also need to apply ILR for my wife who entered UK on 7th of Jan 2012 (expires on 25 Oct 2012 along with my visa). I believe she needs to complete two years in UK to get her ILR done. During this period she will get a extension to stay in UK. Is my understanding correct? Does she need to take life in the UK test along with me for this extension?
I am planning to book in person appointment in a PEO, so can she apply for the extension in the same appointment I would have for ILR.
Yes. Also take test as early as possible, as there are some proposed changes to be made to LIUK.apvn wrote:one more question, do my wife need to take life in the uk test for her extension?

In some cases, applicants may have been granted five years continuous leave, but due to
delayed travel will not have spent five years continuously in the UK before their current leave
expires. Caseworkers may count the period between entry clearance being granted and the
date the applicant entered the UK towards the five years, provided this period was not
longer than three months.
