Help! What date to put on application? (intended date of departure)

[Jentobeharrison]

In that case then visa 'start date' will be the date on which the visa is issued. Means no advance date.

Usually there's no major problems datewise as the initial visa validity given is 33 months from the visa start date. This gives a 3 month 'buffer' period as the next visa application will be shortly before 30 months living in UK

Thank you Terpe,

As what I understood on your reply, they will be the one who will decide the start of visa's validity correct?

In my case, I will be submitting my application probably March 22, 2014. Since it has maximum of three months time frame, is it safe if I could just put any day first week of May as my intended date of travel? Or it doesnt matter if I will put anyday last week of April? What do you think? Then my wedding in June?

Scheduling of this is one of the hard stuff here haha.
