Hello everyone. I wish to get some opinions. I have been in the UK lawfullly with continous leave , no convictions or overstaying etc. I entered 27 September 2007. Unfortunately i have just had my first visa refusal, for shory maintenance money, as a tier 4 dependant. I will put in an AR on the 15th without much hope of a positive answer but hoping to buy time praying the reply comes after at least 20 days.

I am aware that after negative reply i will have 14 days ti make an application under 39E. Ihave booked a PEO appointment for 28 days before the 10 years. I will apply as an overstayer for ILR. Any thoughts on this?

You will be refused ILR unless on the day of your PSC appointment your have been:

- Overstaying for less than 14 days and
- You are max 28 days from completing 10 years since the very first date of your entry to the UK

Thank you Zimba. I entered UK on 27.09.17 and so far i still have my leave to remain pending the outcome of the AR i will submit on Tue 15.08.17 i am hoping then the reply will come in a week at the very least. In that scenario i will be able to apply on say 04.09.17 with 13 days overstay.

In principle are saying it will be okay as long as i dont exceed the 14 days on PSC appointment and am less than 28 days from 10years. Will they not say you were never going to attain the 10years or its more about satisfying the conditions on the day?

You must satisfy the conditions on the day
