Hi

I have received my SAR report yesterday,

I have few points in that which I was not aware of,

My first EC(entry clearance) was expiring on 23-03-2005. I have applied on 10-03-2005 through college student batch scheme.

I thought college must have applied and sent my application before expiry of my visa date.

However on SAR report it says application launch/submitted on 24-03-2005.

Now I am bit concerned, would this be classed as 1 day gap or would this be classed as 0 day gap as visa was expiring on 23rd and application launch date is 24th which is next day of visa expiring date.

I will be very thankful if someone could share some experience on this please.

I know my above question may be a daft or silly question, but could someone please provide some thoughts.

Are you planning on applying for ILR on Long Residence

You will be okay with this.
