ILR visa & how long you can wait before entering UK

Post by sayerle » Wed Apr 07, 2010 4:40 am

If an ILR visa is obtained overseas to enter the UK (in this case obtained in the US), once it is received, how long can you wait before you enter the UK ie. does the visa have an expiration time after which it can no longer be used. Thanks for any info on this.
