Tier 1 Extension - 5 Days short to ILR?

[krishna6693]

Dear Friends

Request your inputs; although I should have asked this question much earlier.

Tier 1 General Date of expiry was: 16 Apr, 2013
Date application posted for Extension was: 20 March, 2013

Date (new) leave to remain was valid from: 11 Apr, 2013
Date (new) leave to remain is valid until: 11 Apr, 2015

Although I had applied by post, and within the 28 days before visa was due to expire - my leave to remain is granted only until 11 Apr 2015 which is 5 days short for completion of 5 years (ideally should be 16 Apr 2015).


Will the shortage of 5 days affect my ILR?
As soon as I received the new visa, I checked out with one of the solicitors who informed me, that since I applied within 28 days - I should be fine.

Should I have informed Home Office about this?
Should I inform now or is it too late?


Many thanks for your inputs.

Regards
Krishna

There is no problem your lawyer is right. You can apply 28 days before your visa expire.
