There is no reason stated in the letter unfortunately

The letter states “She submitted an application for limited leave to remain on the basis of her family and private life in the UK. I am writing to inform you that you have been granted a period of 30 months limited leave to remain on the ten year partner route under paragraphs D-LTRP1.2 of Appendix ...

We meet all requirement, yes she has her ielts English qualifications and we meet the financial requirements comfortably, this is why we were surprised at the change from 5 to 10 years

My wife has been granted leave to remain on the ten year partner route, but she was on the 5 year route 2.5 years ago, are you aware of any reasons why this would happen

Thanks for the reply, I would guess your correct but my question is still the same, will the initial notification come by email or through the post.
