Tone - sorry to hear this. All these UKBA rules are very confusing. Hopefully you can get a refund and then re-apply when it is the right time.

Rose came here in June '12 and we got married in October '12 and the resultant FLR/M (Spouse visa) just after this. It is quite clear that ILR is 24 months on from Spouse Visa (apply -28 days). We will be applying in October '14. It wasn't so easy for us to marry in the Philippines as Rose was living in Dubai and I wasn't a Dubai resident.
