Visa Granted

[Mrs.Smith]

Yes Mrs Smith, the rules for spouse visa changed to 34 months in july 2012 I think, nothing to worry about!!

my visa validity is on January 13, 2013, it means I have to leave the country by that time to complete the 34 months is that correct?

1. As others have said you must get your CFO sticker before departure.

2. The validity of your visa starts on January 13. Means you can ONLY leave after visa validity. You need to live in UK for 30 months in order to qualify for another 30 months leave to remain.
This means it is better you leave Philippines before April 2013.
You must have 60 months qualifying period in UK before eligible for ILR

Well done and good luck
