Hi guys,
I am currently residing in the UK on a Skilled Worker visa and would like to inquire about applying for ILR.

Regarding item SWV 21.2 (i) in the link above (Covid Concession),

Thank you for your reply, Simba. Do I need to specifically mention that when I apply?

Sorry, one more question for you, Simba.
Should I make an appointment for Biometric on the day after 5years of residence, which is later than 3 October, or can I book on the date closest available to my ILR application date?

As I said, you are already eligible for ILR. When you book your appointment is irrelevant now

Thank you! I am making an application now. What date should I put for "When did you first enter the UK?" Tier 2 Visa Applied date or granted date?

That question is NOT relevant to the ILR decision-making process, just enter the date you actually entered the UK for the first time
Uploaded Consent form wrongly for ILR application

Hi Guys,
Today I uploaded my documents for ILR via TLS, and my biometric appointment is tomorrow morning.
But after I submitted, I realised I signed and submitted Consent form Part 2 and 3 also.
I didn't need to submit parts 2 and 3. What should I do? Can I fix that tomorrow at the Biometric appointment?
