Hello, I apologize if this is a dumb question. I've previously done two family visas so I should know the answer to this.
Regarding the timing of applying for ILR, I know I need to apply on or after September 25 of this year. What I need help with is this question:
Do I submit payment now, then set up my appointment for biometrics and upload my documents, and then SUBMIT the application on September 25?
Or do I wait to submit payment until September 25, and that counts as my application date? (And then do biometrics, documents, and submission after that.)
Basically, is the application date the date you pay, or the date you submit after everything is done?
Thank you.
