yes your right about the nov 2009 date, as stated in the bold text i pasted, one year free from immigration control for non spouse apps.

not so sure for a spouse thou, i'm sure i have read of people who came on a work permit, and had spent at least a year legally in the uk, and then changed to a spouse visa after marrying a brit, then after 2yrs got ILR and were then able to apply straight away for citizenship.(3yrs in the uk)

while for most on here, to get 3 years would be 2 years on a spouse, then 1yr ILR.
