My query is that I am applying in person on the 22nd Jan 13. As I entered late into the UK I.e on the below dates what do I put down in section 6 on the date of entry. Would it be the date of issue or the date of actual entry? I want to avail the 3 month concession for late entry and 28 day concession. If I put the actual date of entry then I will be short by 10 or 15 days Do I need to make reference to the 3 month concession?

Visa granted(HSMP) 11 Feb 2008
Entry into UK 20 Mar 2008
Tier 1 extension till 11 Feb 2013
Applying for ILR on the 22 Jan 2013

My wife who isn't eligible for ILR as she has been in the country for less then 2 years will apply on FLRM after I have received my visa which i will apply by post. Is that ok to do. She cant travel to the centre and she would be 9 mnths pregnant. Can I do that? I.e Wait for my decision on the 22nd Jan 2013 and apply by post for her after that before 11 Feb 2013 when her visa expires.

I appreciate all the help that i have had through this forum. Please help.

Date of entry asks exactly that.

Thanks for the reply but I am not clear. Should I use the date of issue then instead of the date of entry in my case. Please clarify as I need to enter this correctly on the form.

Also what is your view about the FLR(M) I am ok in making the application as stated.

[Victoria]

Does the question ask 'date of entry'?  If so, that is the clue that they want to know the date of entry.  It's not a trick question.

Thanks Victoria for the clarification. Do I  put the initial gap from the date of visa issue and the date of entry as the first period of abscene then to avail the 3 months late entry concession?

Also any advice on FLR(M)?

[Victoria]

if you want more advice, I suggest coming for a consultation.

Thankyou for your assistence Victoria. I appreciate that.  If I could afford consultation I honestly would to avoid all the headache but my current finances don't allow that. I would appreciate it if anyone else can provide answers to my questions?  My questions again are:

1) How should I account for the late entry into to UK within three. I.e as an abscence at the begining of the period referring to the late entry concession?

2) I am correct in applying for my wife who doesnt qualify for ILR under FLR(M) by post after the 22nd Jan 2013 but before 11 feb 2013 after I have received my approval.

Thanking in anticipation.

Your wife can apply by post once you are approved and you would need to make the initial 'absence' clear. These cases do benefit from professional assistance and a refusal would cost you dearly so if you can at least manage an application check service then it could be of significant benefit - the application fees demanded by the Home Office are high and a refusal would mean those fees were wasted.

Either way, good luck.

Thank you for all the help. I will definetly consider the application checking service. I also spoke to an advisor from UKBA and they have said exactly the same.

The UKBA do not employ advisors.
