Hi Guys

I have a silly question. My Tier 1(G) was approved on 14th June 2008 as the approval letter had that date. It was in-country application. But the issue date on the actual stamp is 19th June 2008 and valid till date on the stamp is 14th June 2011. I applied for my extension in 2011 via post during April 2011 and got the extension till June 2013.

Now is it 28 days before 14th June 2013 or 19th June 2013 I apply for ILR?

Thanks for your help and advise in advance.

Regards

Tier 1(G) was approved on 14th June 2008 = Date on Approval Letter?
date on the actual stamp is 19th June 2008 = Start Date on Visa?

Your five year qualifying period starts from date when visa stamped, which is in your case 19th June 2008. So you will be eligible for ILR 28 days before of 19/06/2013.

I had same case where difference was 4 days and I sent email to UKBA through whatdotheyknow and never heard back them called them also and their adviser said go by passport date, although I have read different guidance where I read that in country application qualification is from date of decision and out country from date of entry but to be on safe side, be on 19th

Can Any senior member shed some light on it?

It will be very much appreciated.

skilled_migrant has advised you correctly. If you want to you could apply for your ILR, 28 days before 14th June2013 but it will be rejected. A matter of 5 days late does it matter,unless of course you want to loose your Visa Fees.
