Hi,

My current leave expired on 11th April 2012.

Can I apply ILR on 14th March or what is the earliest day I can apply?

Thanks in advance.

It depends on what date you were granted entry clearance ?

What date you first entered UK ?

Hi,

First I came to UK in 2004 as astudent and the applied for HSMP. I was in the UK while got the first VISA stamp on HSMP in April 2007. then renewed it for further 3 year in Apr 2009 using judicial review.

Thanks

You need to apply 28 days before you complete 5 years on work category. 5 years will start from the day of your first HSMP visa which is April 2007 (you didn’t mention the date).
