Hi Pinaypie,

Actually, you were already eligible to apply for ILR 27 days ago. It states in the rules that yo
u can apply for ILR 28 days before your 2nd year of living here in the UK.

Sadly, for ILR, you're not allowed to count your time here in UK as Fiancee.
The good news is that you are allowed to include it when applying for British Citizenship.

The 2 years count starts from the day you are given Leave to Remain. So you need to wait 28 days before the expiration of your FLR(M), not from when you arrived to the UK as a fiancee. That's one of the differences between coming here as a fiancee and as a spouse. Spouse visa is technically the FLR(M) or the Leave to Remain. But the day you arrived in the UK as fiancee will be counted when you apply for Naturalisation/Citizenship.
