Hi There, I am Australian and my wife is British and has a 5 year Austrailian Spouse visa which was issued in 2013. I received a job offer here in the UK in 2013 so I moved to the UK and we've been living here together for the past 5 years. We have traveled back to Australia frequently during this p...

If I need to retain my passport (for travel) during the decision period, is there options for this? 3. Is ILR permanent? Than...

Yes, first spouse visa from Feb 2013 - Nov 2015

Thanks for the quick reply.

My residence permit is 'spouse/partner leave to remain'. Expiry date 2.5.2018. Issued Oct 2015.

I've qualify (I think) for citizenship as I've been living in the UK continuously for 5 years and am married to a British born citizen.

Hi there, My spouse Residence Permit expires in 3 weeks. I've been here for 5 years straight, originally from Australia.
