when to post ilr papers

[Durkhaima]

Hi all. I also would like ask when can i send my ILR application?

My visa was granted on 04 Oct 2007 and i entered UK on 02 Nov 2007.

My husband phoned the Home Office and he was told that i have to send it 28 days before my visa runs out. The date of my arrival does not matter at all.

Now this is really confusing. My husband had to wait for an hour just to talk to the Home Office.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

HO is talking , course it matters when you arrive, as your suppose to be in the uk 2yrs (- upto 28 days) before you can apply and if your visa has expired before you can apply, your suppose to apply for FLR instead!

so your visa was issued 4 10 2007
entered uk 2 11 2007

i take it you have a 2 yr spouse visa ??? which expires 4 10 2009 ??

so you will have been in the uk 2yrs on the 2 11 2009 and you can apply for ILR - upto 28 days. which is 5th 10 2009

and oh your visa expired on the 4th of oct , but there should not be a problem if you apply just before your visa expires.. i would apply on the 1st of oct 2009 by special delivery.

thats if your visa is a 2yr one ? or is it a 27 month one ??
