Hi,
I am married to UK woman since 2005, i am living with her abroad and she is under my sponsor. I heard that i need to apply for ILE in the embassy for the country where i live, then apply for ILR will be provided once I entered UK. My questions are:-
1) is ILE & ILR are same, do i have to appreach home office to apply for ILR and stamp it in my passport.
2) any special requirements if there is a deferent between ILE & ILR?
3) once i got ILR stamped into my passport, how long i am entitled to be outside of UK to meet the UK passport requirement?
4) what requirement to apply for UK passport.

thanks
