10 year ILR

Hi there, due to apply for my ILR in a few days,
But I found I might have a break between my visas.
I applied for my T4 extension on the 29th of Nov 2011( expires on the 30th of Nov), rejected as invalid on the 11th of Dec as I didn’t sign the application as the visa team “forgot” to ask me to do so. Reapply on the 12th, visa granted on the 4 of Feb.
Does that count as a break for more then 28 days?
As far as I know from the 30th of Nov to the 12th of Dec, I wasn’t covered under 3C, but do I after I re apply?
Thanks lot in advance.
Tony

Best is to apply your SAR file from UKVI to check your immigration history in their records to exactly find it out.

You applied within 28 days of becoming an overstayer and then later you were granted leave. Your period of overstaying will be discarded for long residence

They should give it to you within 40working days. Email them to remind the timeline.
You've overstayed between 30/11/2011 and 12/12/2011 but then this will be disregarded since the overstay days are less 28.
Good Luck and keep updating.

Thanks for the reply,
I have sent them over 5 emails already, all replied with they are working on it.
The reason for asking is I have also been told the break is counted from the date my last leave expried till the date they issue the new Visa.
Now I think I got a much better chance of getting ILR.
Thanks again.
