Any info will be highly appreciated.

I will be completing 5 years on 25/05/2013 so I am actually eligible to apply 28 days prior to this, so the date I am eligible is 27/04/2008. But as I have travelled with in 90 days from the time my WP is issued for first time, the document of UKBA says I can consider the date 28/04/2008 as my first clearance date. So now please confirm me if I am eligible to Apply from Apr 1st 2013. I have my appointment on 03/04/2012. The reason I am applying quick is to apply before 6th Apr when the new fee comes in to existence.

Please find the rule in 11th page 3rd paragraph

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary

The rule says -
The period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK may be counted toward the qualifying period , as long
as it does not exceed 90 days. This can occur if the applicant is delayed traveling to the UK. Provided the period of delay does not exceed 90 days, it will not be counted as an absence.

if this is case then you can apply on 03/04/2008

Please check your post as it is very confusing with the dates not making any scene

If the dates are confused am sorry. I think many of us dont know tht this is possible and you are confused as you have never heard of it may be.

You can not apply earlier than 28 days before the 5 year, starting from entry clearance date. .

If you read my first reply I stated it very clearly:

I am not sure if you missed it or you do not know what entry clearance mean.

Now cheer up.
