Yes, we called they said they'd send forms, then we may...need to have an appointment! Residence Permit is only for FLR(M) applicant.

Our visa now lasts 2.3 years, can we apply for ILR now in a year from now, one year before the FLR(M) runs out, or do we have to by law do another FLR in 2 years from now for another 2 years? I thought the law changed and you had to do the full 4 year probation but my friend told me otherwise. Is this true?

Visa applications submitted after the 9 July 2012 rules requires a 5 year immigration journey to reach ILR eligibility.
This involves two FLR periods each of 30 months.

Only those visa applications submitted before 9 July 2012 are eligible for ILR after 2 years living in UK as a spouse.
