ILR application

[eytch]

I just phoned today, they said I need to post my application on 28 (saturday) because they will start counting the date registered on mail.

yes you can post it the day your visa expires, so you need to keep proof of posting if there is a problem

Not sure I'd plan to post an application on the day a visa expires...

Not sure I'd plan to post an application on the day a visa expires...

immigration rules, its not the day they receive it, its the day you post it that counts,

Determination of the date of an application or claim (or variation of an application or claim) in connection with immigration

34G.For the purposes of these rules, the date on which an application or claim (or a variation in accordance with paragraph 34E) is made is as follows:

(i) where the application form is sent by post, the date of posting,

(ii) where the application form is submitted in person, the date on which it is accepted by a public enquiry office of the Border and Immigration Agency of the Home Office,

(iii) where the application form is sent by courier, the date on which it is delivered to the Border and Immigration Agency of the Home Office, or

(iv) where the application form is submitted online, the date on which it is so submitted.

and no i wouldn't post it on that day either, i would always apply for a visa ASAP, in case there are problems, it gives you time to sort them out

I'm getting a bit of a panic here now...

I forgot that my Visa will expire on the 1st week of March and I havent taken the test yet... I hope the weather will be fine by next week so test centres are open ( i phoned up today but they are close coz of the heavy snow!!! huhuhuhu- pray i am not too late)... and pass it on the 1st take!

doh!

Just to make sure:
So it is then ok to lodge the ILR application say 5 days before FLR expires? hehe... (making room for retaking exams just incase - but huhuhu hope i will not fail)

Thank you again!
