i come here 14/11/06,im out of my mind earlier when i find
out about it,
11 days. oh, some people have got away with more than that, but it all depends on the case worker, if it was one or 2 days i would risk it, but 11 you could get away with it ,but you risk losing your money and even possibly becoming an overstayer if your visa expires before you make another app..ooops..sorry,my visa valid from 03/10/06,valid until 03/10/08,
i come here 14/11/06,
out about it,
flr you can apply for anytime
im a bit confussed,if i apply for FLR,its 2 years visa right?11 days. oh, some people have got away with more than that, but it all depends on the case worker, if it was one or 2 days i would risk it, but 11 you could get away with it ,but you risk losing your money and even possibly becoming an overstayer if your visa expires before you make another app..
flr you can apply for anytime
(corect me if im wrong)so when can i apply for ILR?or
can i apply for citizenship straight away after 3 years?
the case worker will probably only give you FLR until you've been in the uk 2years, not an extra 2 yrs, becuase they can possibly make more money out of you, you need to pass the 'life in the uk test' b4 you apply for ILR..im a bit confussed,if i apply for FLR,its 2 years visa right?
(corect me if im wrong)so when can i apply for ILR?or

you can apply for FLR anytime b4 your visa expires,
ILR no more than 28 days b4 you've been in the uk 2 yrs.
you should always apply for visa asap so if there is a problem, you will have time to reapply, your visa will hopefully not have expired by then
so in your case to apply for ILR , you came to the uk on the 14/11/2006, and the earliest you can apply for ILR is after 2 yrs - (upto 28 days) when you first entered the uk
err 17th oct 2008,
but your visa will have expired 3rd of oct 2008, your an overstayer
so if you apply for FLR, you should get it til 14th nov 2008, and so you can apply for ILR upto 28 days b4 that date, so you can apply for ILR
btw 17th oct to the 7th nov 2008 (you could infact leave it til the last minute the 13th of nov, but i wouldn't take the risk, incase they say they didnt get it on the 14th)
check the dates yourself and with IND, cause i'm off home now
we're April 2009 now my dear, aren't you supposed to extend your visa last year before your visa was expired?ooops..sorry,my visa valid from 03/10/06,valid until 03/10/08,
i come here 14/11/06,
out about it,
Not an expert, I only try to help.
