5 Continuous Years - Yes or No - PLEASE HELP - URGENT
Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 3:23 pm
Hi,
I am due to apply for my ILR in a couple of weeks, and have only just noticed that I am two days short of 5 continuous years on the appropriate visa (I have been here 6 years, but first year was on a woking holiday).
My first HSMP commenced on 18 June 2007 but my current Tier 1 expires on 16 June 2012.
I have been in the country working the entire time, and the visa should cover the entire period...
Is this possibly something to do with Leap Years??
Am I still eligible as technically I fall just short of the 5 year period, or do I need to apply for a Tier 1 extension to cover those few days?
Please Help
