Hi , my wife came to the UK on a UK spouse visa on 25 December 2011 which expires on 14 march 2014. Can someone tell me when is the date she can apply for indefinatie leave to remain as I've read that u should apply 28 days before u visa expires or is it after u have completed 2 years stay in the UK and then apply 28 days before.

Also as far as documents required for the ILR application , me and my wife are living with my parents so most documents if not all are in my mum and dads names. My wife has some hospital documents from 2012 , confirmation of postal vote from our local council and I've only made a joint back account from July 2013. I have read section 10 of the set(m) form which says if dont have a enough documents as u live with relatives , they can write a letter about this. Would this be enough to satisfy their reuirements even If if my wife submitted the aplication public inquiry office.

Thanks

If she entered the UK on Dec 25 she is eligible to apply for ILR from the end of November. She may apply 28 days before the 2nd anniversary of her arrival in the UK, but has until the expiry date of her current visa to make the application, so until March 14 2014.

Hi , thank you for quick reply much appreciated as always. But as far as the second question goes registering documents required , any advice on that , as we live with my parents we don't have many documents in single or joint names or from different sources spread over two years.

Thanks
