ILR question?

[darren-b]

hi,
thanks for this link...i came here thru spouse visa last august2008 so i need to apply ILR 28days before on august2009...? Just asking is it really base the day when yoou arrived in Uk? because we live in amerika for 2 years with my husband because he was working there? just asking if you could help me...
thank you so much

Yes it is based on day you arrived in the UK with your spouse visa. So you'll be able to apply sometime in July/early August 2010 depending on the exact date you arrived.

If you had lived with your husband for 4 years prior to coming to the UK it would have been different - you would have been eligible for ILR immediately.
