How switch current FLR(FP) application from 10 to 5year rout

[bukaro8]

Hi there. Can any of you clarify this please. I have to extend my flr (fp) but I wonder where an applicant still has leave remaining under the 10 year parent route , and decides to switch to 5 years to shorten the route, but still qualifies to continue under the 10 year route; please clarify in the event the applicant does not meet the 5- year route but its decided to grant leave under the 10 year route,

a.) would the applicant start the 10 years route from scratch as in the 1st grant of leave

or

b.) would the applicant leave to remain continue on a 2nd term as was initially granted before switching to 5 year route i.e second period since it would be upto 4 periods to complete 120 months to qualify for ILR.



C.)in light of the above would the application be considered as invalid as it was made under the 5 years instead of 10 years
