Good Afternoon,

My husband is coming up to 5 years on his spouse visa and I have seen contradicting info on both here and other sites. Government guidance is that can apply for ILR 28 days before the end of the 5 year “qualifying period”. Does the 5 year qualifying period commence on date of visa issue, or date of first entry into the UK?

Visa issues 2nd OCT 2017
First entry under the visa 18th Oct 2017

So is the earliest application for ILR 28days before the 2nd OCT 2022 or 28days before the 18th OCT 2022.

Thank you

From date of entry into the UK on their initial spouse visa.

Good Evening,

We are currently completing my ILR(M) application.

There is the question, Do you own or rent your home?

My Husband owns the house, and I obviously live with him. We are currently just remortgaging into joint names but as of now it is in his name.

Do I select “I Own”, and write in cover letter to explain my husband owns etc or do i select neither own nor rent? I have seen varying views online some saying “I own” is as a couple, and some say to put “neither own or rent”

Many Thanks
