Dear gurus,

The question that they have asked here is

How long have you lived in UK?

What should you answer here

My EC was stamped on 10-09-08
Entered UK on 31-10-08
Absence of less than 180 days including delayed first entry to UK.
Applying for ILR in Person on 19 Aug ( less than 28 days before leave to remain expires on 10-09-2013)

For the above question,

Should I answer as 4 years and 9 months?
Note: This is because it doesnt not include 45 days delayed first entry to UK and you are applying 28 days before for ILR

Should I answer 4 years and 10 months?
Note: This is because it doesnt include 45 days delayed first entry to UK but includes the date till your leave your leave to remain expires ( applying 28 days before for ILR)

Regards

I would just include the number of days from physical arrival into the UK to date of ILR application! Then to be clear, write a note in my cover letter referring to use of 90 days concession for calculation of date for qualifying period.

The caseworkers should be used to dealing with this kind of scenarios by now.

Just my two pence.....
