Hi everyone,

I would appreciate some advice regarding my Skilled Worker ILR eligibility.

My timeline is as follows:

Skilled Worker Visa Decision email received: 03/08/2021
BRP Issued date: 19/08/2021
Visa vignette valid from: 30/08/ 2021
Entered the UK: 03/09/ 2021

I have remained on the Skilled Worker route since then with no gaps in permission.

Would my 5-year qualifying period for ILR start from the visa valid-from date (30/08/2021), or Visa decision email received date ( 03/08/2021 ) or BRP issues date or from the date I first entered the UK (03/09/2021)? When can I apply for ILR with 28 days earlier from which date ?

Thank you in advance for your help.
