Tier 1(General) Visa - ILR - calculating continuous period i

[abhupathy]

Hello,

I hold Tier 1 (general) visa, my Initial visa validity was from 18 May 2010 to 18 May 2013, but I entered to UK on 28 May 2010 and I had my first visa extension validity from 13 May 2013 to 13 May 2015. While calculation 5 years continuous period in UK. I realised that 6 days less to complete 5 years (total I have now is 4 years, 11 months, 25 days).

Assuming that I make my ILR application on 13 May 2015
13 may 2015 to 12 May 2014
13 may 2014 to 12 May 2013
13 may 2013 to 12 May 2012
13 may 2012 to 12 May 2011
13 may 2011 to 12 May 2010 => where my initial visa starts from 18 May 2010!

Could you please suggest is this dates are acceptable as per UKBA regulations and Law to prove 5 years of continuation stay in UK

OR should I apply my ILR after visa expiry i.e., 18 May 2015 to meet the 5 years continuation

OR should I go back to UKBA to change the date of validity to 18 May 2015

OR Should I apply for Extension prior to my ILR application to fill the gap or 6 days

I really appreciate your genuine advice.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi
I need some help in my case please, to know when can i apply for ILr

Tier 1 General visa issued inside UK on 16-07-2010 for 2 years in premium service
Extention applied by post in june 2012 and received visa starting from 20-10-2012 till 20-10-2015.

i know that i can apply 28 days prior but confused when.

1st case: 16-07-2010 to 16-07-2012 and then GAP plus visa till 20-10-2015 but can ignore middle gap period because my application was in home office and i was legal in uk and can apply 28 days prior of full 5 years which means 19-06-2015 Approximately onwards.



2nd case: 16-07-2010 to 16-07-2012 and then GAP plus decision of postal application EXT. on 20-10-2012 made and visa valid till 20-10-2015, so which means i will be eligible from 22-09-2015 approx. on wards and cannot count gap in 5 years contnious period when my application was pending In HO for second extension.


in total i have only 151 absenses from uk and not more than 90 days in single, i was absent which means i am secure in absense point of view.


Seniors / Friends yours reply will be appreiciated.


Kind Regards
