Sorry for maybe going over old ground, but just help to clarify our findings and are we totally wrong.

Plan to marry in the uk in the spring therefore should apply for fiance visa which lasts for six months.

Before the end of six months, apply for leave to remain, the UK Border Web Site has two different periods, one for 2 years and one for 30 months. The 2 year period is under fiance and says that she can apply to stay permenantly after the 2 year period, subject to the usual requirements.

Is that right?

Also, the language test applies for the 2 year or 30 month period?

Sorry for repeating the same topic again, my head blurs with all the different information!
