ILR Eligiblity

[sganez]

Hello Friends,

I'm currently on Tier1 General visa and it expires on 14-Jan-2014. I'm confused whether to apply for ILR or another extension. My visa details given below

Visa Started Date or Stamped date: 14 JAN 2009
Entered into UK for the first time: 16 March 2009

Now as explained in the below answer [from : http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=79378]; I will not be eligible to apply for ILR before March-2014.

Kindly help me please.



Q3 - When does my ILR qualifying period start?
There are two scenarios. One is that ILR qualifying visa (e.g. Work Permit, Tier 1, HSMP, etc) was obtained by switching into that category from another visa whilst still in UK. Second is that ILR qualifying visa was obtained out of country. For first case ILR clock starts from the day the passport was stamped with that leave to remain. For second case ILR clock starts from the day when applicant first entered UK on that qualifying visa, subject to the 90 days entry concession. E.g. If someone got Tier 1 visa from out of UK on 1st February 2006 and entered the UK for first time on 20th June 2006, then ILR clock starts from 20th June 2006.


Thank you so much.
