见5楼正解
711之前28天
按7月26号算吧。
坛子里有人说，另外一个签出时间的意思是，给那种难民之类，已到英国的人拿签证计算时间用的。
when you arrived in the UK with a visa
when you were given permission to stay in the UK(这里不是 enter）
请有实际经验的说下。搜出来的都是这个说法（英文搜），但没搜出官方说法。
注：坛子里说的不准，看我5楼
搜到了home office不同的说法，是qualifty residence的。
但是要注意，这个是13年的了
http://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/ilr-qualifying-period-start-date-t161699.html
14年也有同样的问题。别答复一样。
但相关gov的link已经没了。
所以不清楚16年改了没。25/04/16有如下这玩意儿。
“25 April 2016
Updated guidance on treatment of the period between the issue of entry clearance and entering the UK.”
附上13年的home office说法
From: Khalid
15 April 2013
Dear UK Border Agency,
I am covered by HSMP JR (initial application for HSMP between 6 April 2006 to 6 November 2006) . Visa issued on 14 may 2008, entered in the UK on 22 June 2008 (lees than three months), got FLR until 22 June 2013. My understanding is that my qualifying residency period toward ILR starts from my first date of issuance of visa, as per ILR Guidance-Calculating continuous period in the UK-v8.0-valid from 6th April 2013, wherein clearly mentioned if someone enters in the UK less than 3 months from the date of Entry Clearance, then qualifying period starts from the date of entry clearance.
Is my understanding right.
Many thanks, and kind regards
Yours faithfully,
Khalid bangash

Dear Sir / Madam,
Thank you for your e-mail dated 15^th April 2013.
The period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering
the UK may be counted toward the qualifying period, as long as it does not
exceed 90 days. This can occur if the applicant is delayed travelling to
the UK. Provided the period of delay does not exceed 90 days, it will not
be counted as an absence.
In order to apply you will need Form SET(O) and Guide SET(O), which are
available from the UK Border Agency website at
[1]www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk.
In order for your application to be valid you will need to meet all the
requirements, including knowledge of language and life in the UK (KOL).
Please visit our comprehensive website for further information about the
requirements for your category of permission to stay.
Yours faithfully,
Emma Fields

好了，16年的找了。一锤定音
Indefinite leave to remain – calculating continuous … - Gov.uk
This page tells you when absences will not break continuity when calculating if the continuous period requirement has been met.
Period between the issue of entry clearance and entering the UK
The period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK may be counted toward the qualifying period. Any absences between the date of issue and entry to the UK are considered an allowable absence. This period will count towards the 180 days allowable absence in the relevant 12 month period. The applicant does not need to provide evidence to demonstrate the reason for delayed entry.
If the delay is more than 180 days, you can only include time after the applicant entered the UK in the continuous period calculation.
Entry to the United Kingdom through Ireland
Applicants who entered through Ireland, and therefore have not passed through immigration control, cannot demonstrate their date of entry to the UK using their passport. Alternative evidence to demonstrate this can include, but is not limited to:
a copy of a travel ticket showing the date of arrival
independent evidence of activity following entry, such as:
o a letter from an employer stating when the applicant started their employment in the UK
o a tenancy agreement from a landlord stating when the applicant started living a UK address
180 whole days absence
No more than 180 days absence are allowed in any of the 5, 4, 3 or 2 consecutive 12 month periods, depending on the category, preceding the date of the application for indefinite leave to remain (ILR).
所以还是7月11提前28天？
但是会把你这段时间视为离境时间，与180天总数一起算。但一般没人有这个问题
谢谢
那需要在表格上写上这段时间吗？不是需要写个离境时间的列表。。。。但是这是工作开始后的啊
7月26号前28天
参照5楼的HO官方资料，应该是从拿到签证的那天，即7月11开始算5年。然后再提前28天，也就是6月13就可以申请永居了。但是会把你这段时间（7月11号—7月26号）视为离境时间，算为180天的一部分 (Any absences between the date of issue and entry to the UK are considered an allowable absence)
如果入境时间晚于 拿到签证日期的180天，那5年是从 入境的那天算起。
请问180天的离境时间， 是5年内总的离境时间？ 还是每年连续的180天离境时间呢？
每年吧~~
这个无所谓的啊，写清楚就行了。譬如，你可以写7.11～7.26+注明Period between the issue of entry clearance and entering the UK+多少天。让人明白就行了呀。
5楼最后有写啊。
请问…
