Flr or ilr??

[Moy]

morning everyone
am newbie here and am gald to found this helpful forum and hoping to find answer to my confusion..
in short here is my problem

I am reading through some posts and the guidelines in UKBA website. And now I am confused. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/se...ormset%28m%29/
"If you delayed your journey to the UK by weeks or months after the date when you were given permission to enter, that permission will expire before the end of your 2-year qualifying period. In that case, you may need to apply to extend your visa using application form FLR(M) before you can apply for settlement."

My passport details:
Type of Visa: Spouse
Valid From: 29/3/10
Valid Until: 29/6/12
Date Arrived in the UK: 20/5/10
recently passed the Life in the UK Test
Should I apply the FLR or ILR? (this is the one that fully confused me)
* am cumputing the date that the earliest I could lodge my application is on 22nd April 2012(28 days before the visa expire)?
any idea

thank you

Hi Moy,

You are already here in UK on FLR
Your FLR is valid for 27 months
You arrived in UK on 20 May 2010 so this is the start of your 24 months qualifying period of living in the UK.
Your 24 months will be completed by 20 May 2012

You are correct that your next step is applying for ILR
This can be done 28 days before the end of your 24 month qualifying period.

So YES, make your ILR application on 22 April 2012
