ILR question?

[darren-b]

Is this a new law? just asking..im bit confuse now...my visa expired on november 2010, But i arrived here last august 2008? so when im gonna apply the ILR? just wondering because most of the people here said 28days before your visa expired...thank you for the info....

This has always been rule for anyone who came to the UK on a spouse visa, though what has changed recently is that spouse visas are now 27 months when they only use to be 24 months.

From http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/ukr...ionformset(m)/

"Please do not send us your application more than 28 days before the end of your two-year qualifying period."

It's only anyone who came here on a fiancee and now has FLR who cannot apply for ILR until 28 days before their visa expires because their visa and their 2 year qualifying period are between the same dates.
