Jane, she can't travel to London because we live across the Irish sea.

Marksroomspain & Raynaputi u r confusing me, one says 2 years after she arrived despite the date of the visa and the other says the date the visa runs out, I must admit after reading through the rules & regulations earlier this evening on the UKBA website I read it as the date the visa finishes.

Also since we're working under the old rules about finances, do I still need to fill in the part of the ILR application form about my finances? I'm 62 years old and finished working, I'm now getting Pension Credit and Housing Benefit in my own name, my wife works full time.
