Hi,

My visa(Tier 2 General) has been issued on 16th August 2012, however i entered into this country on 10th September 2012. So
  • 1. Will my entry delay in UK will be counted? If yes then shall i have to provide any document,
    2. What is the earliest date i can apply for ILR.
    3. Recently, I have changed the company under same Tier2(General) visa. Will there be any effect on my ILR.
