SET(LR), applying 27 days early: do I put “9 years 11 months” or “10 years” for “How long have you lived in the UK?”
Hi there,
I’m applying for ILR under the 10-year Long Residence route and stuck on one field.
My dates:
• First entered the UK: 17 September 2016
• 10 years completes: 17 September 2026
• Earliest valid application date: 20 August 2026
• Planned submission: 21 August 2026
So on the day I submit I’ll have 9 years, 11 months and 4 days. The form has a “How long have you lived in the UK?” field with separate years and months boxes.
Do I enter 9 years / 11 months (literally true on the date of application), or 10 years / 0 months (the qualifying period I’m relying on)?
Would appreciate input from anyone who’s been through the 10-year ILR application process.
Thanks! Truly appreciate your help.
