I made the application in February for ILR under 5 year route spouse visa (fmlr). However, received email from home office stating I don't qualify as I don't spend enough 60 months of time under fmlr. Home office is offering to very the application to another extension under fmlr. I spend nearly 70 months under fmlr. First 30 months of fmlr competed successfully with just 36 days outside of UK. Further leave to remain received successfully but during lockdown I made a silly mistake and apply for DDV concession visa which was issued but within 15 days I asked the home office to cancel that DDV concession visa and put me back on my current spousal visa as the relationship all settled back to normal. I never applied for SET DV ILR l. But home office asked to make a new application for further leave to remain as a spouse which I did and recieved it successfully. So after nearly 70 months of residence under fmlr all combined before and after DDV visa I applied for ILR but they are counting the clock after DDV visa. Nowhere I found information that temporary visa in-between the fmlr route would disregard the previous accumulated months.
So my question is- what my chances are to challenge it and win the case taking into account that it happened during lockdown and I realised my mistake and contacted home office within 15 days to reinstate current visa which they refused. But I made another extension and overall lived under this category for nearly 70 months.
