This place is great.. we've got a few Oracles here..

Is it true that ILR application has to be made from within the UK. Can someone not apply for ILR while on a holiday etc from a home country.

Thanks a million

you are awesome..

Hi Vinny/All,

Quick clarification...

So even if the wife and kid have been here for a long time their clock will be reset to zero and now have to start their 5yr for ILR??
Is this because of ILR Long resident of main applicant
or
Visa type/issue date of dependants...


Thanks

Hello Everyone, Have been reading the posts for ages, and only seem to be more confused !! Insight and advice pls.... Scenario: Have been in UK for a bit over 10 years, currently on a Tier-1 general extension visa valid till April 2016. Original Tier-1 issued before 09-Jul-12 and extension issued ...

Thanks all. And apologies for the delayed response.

Yes I entered within 90 days of original visa issue.

Looks like I can in fact apply 28 days before and not worry about finding someone who can sponsor a visa just to cover that brief 20 day period..

All, appreciate insight, clarification and any expriences of this rather odd case So Have been on a Tier-1 which I've been extending till now. My Current Visa Expires on 15th Apr 16. And I would finish 5 years on 5 May 2016. So its less than 28 days. Does this mean I can apply for ILR from 5th April ...
