I'm just trying to get my head round this.

- I applied for Spouse visa before 9 July 2012
- I received my spouse visa after 9 July 2012 (Feb 2013) and the length given is 2 years

Now the question so when I come to applying for the ILR, will they consider this by the rules that were in place before july 9 2012? In other words, would i be able to apply for the ILR after two years rather than the new 5 year rule?

I'd be really grateful if anyone could help me with this question

Thank you!

I assume your were on a family route visa before your application? Did you have to show an £18k annual salary?

you can apply 28 days before you complete your two years.

I think you are on the old rules because under the new rules your visa would have been given for 3 years initially. When you got your spouse visa did they not send you a letter telling you when you can apply for ILR?
