nope, i don't think there is a court ruling or anything like that, it looks like, as they have extended the spouse visa out of country from 24 to 27 months, they are allowing people on a spouse visa in country, who came within 3 months of the start date to apply for ilr but you have to wait, reason is that you must apply b4 your visa expires..
ilr will change next year,, maybe they getting rid of headaches now![]()
