They can apply within 14 days of refusal. Section 3C however will be terminated when you apply

If section 3C will be terminated wouldn’t that make me ineligible to reapply for ILR as I will be an overstayer/residing illegally in the uk?

Caseworkers know the rules and procedures, so you do not need to worry about this. SET(LR) is considered a human rights application and has the right to appeal for applicants. If ILR decision came as refused (for whatever reason) whilst I am on section 3C, do I have the right to apply again ...

The standard application can take weeks to be decided after submission of Biometrics, so you can assume a date of decision well in the future after biometrics. I already gave you advice on how this will work in your advantage above I am planning to go for super priority appointment where the ...

Caseworkers know the rules and procedures, so you do not need to worry about this. SET(LR) is considered a human rights application and has the right to appeal for applicants. Thank you, Zimba. As my current visa is valid until 19/Sep, and the 28 days start from the 21/Sep. How far in advance ...

ILR can be granted up to 28 days BEFORE completing your full 10 years. That is the whole point of 28-day concession argument. So the advisor is wrong to think that there will be a refusal. On the date of decision, you should be within 28 days completing your 10 years or any time later Thank you ...

Yes. Section 3C has nothing to do with the 28-day concession. You apply before visa expiry and when your visa expires, section 3C automatically covers you. Please go and read the link I shared above !! Hi sorry to ask again, I have read the links you provided, and have had a word with an ...

The earliest date of ILR eligibility is (first visa issue date + 5 years - 28 days). This means you can be granted ILR on that date and onwards. This applies to the skilled workers and their dependents. The date of entry to the UK is irrelevant . Also the appplication date is not critical ...

Right that makes sense then. Can I submit ILR application online before the 28 days (just to trigger section C) but then book my ILR appointment (probably super priority) few days later to be within the 28 days? Looks like a loophole to me Though they mention in the guidance for long residence ...

I would love to be cautious, but the problem is my skilled worker visa expires 30 days before the 10 years is complete (not 28 days). So im gonna end up extending my current visa just for those two days just so I can reach legally the 28 days qualifying period.

Thank you, just couple of sticking points: 1. Assuming it is the date if entry that matters, If someone entered the uk in 18/Oct/2014, would the full 10 year period be up until 17/Oct/2024 or 18/Oct/2024? I thought it might be considered complete on the day before the anniversary of the entry date ...

Thanks for your reply. So the date I entered the uk (which was 2 weeks after the date the visa shows as valid) does not matter? Whats matters if the issue date if the visa even though I was outside of the uk when it was issued ? Does that apply under all ILRs or just the 5 year route ? I couldn’t f ...

Thank you for getting back to me. Just two questions: 1. Is the 28 day counted from the date of the biometric being submitted? Or the online submission? 2. I spent 7 years on Tier4 visa and 3 years on Skilled worker, is the 10 yr period calculated from the date of tier 4 visa issue or the entry date ...

Hi Everyone, I entered the UK with a Tier 4 visa on the 18/Oct/2014. Never been more than 6 months at a time outside the UK. I am currently on a skilled worker visa, and it says valid until 19/09/2024. My question is on which date do I become eligible for ILR under the 10 yr route ? If I opted for ...
