Dear Friends,

I came to UK on 28-Sep-2008 on workpermit ( visa stamped on 19-Sep-2008) and later moved to Tier 1(G) in June 2011. My Tier 1 expiers on 29-June-2013 and i will become elibigle for ILR on 19-August-2013. Do i need to extend my Tier 1 visa for just 2-3 months or there is a way i can avoid extending Tier 1 and directly apply for my ILR.

Appreciate your help.

U will need to apply for further leave to remain before u can apply for ILR

Hi

I think there is a way out to this. Apply for you extension by post which is going to take few months. Submit your ILR application immediately after the same is due. One of my friend did the same and manged to save one fee. I have seen UKBA guidlines on this and will paste the link if i manged to find that again.
