Hi guys, I'm back here as my wife is finally completing her 5 year spouse route in December...I have a quick query..

She entered on 20/12/2013

she got FLR on 7/10/16 and her latest BRP expires on 5/5/19

I can see from other posts that we can apply from the 22/11/18 (which is 28 days before the end of the 5 year period....but do we have to apply before 20/12/18? Can we wait until closer to the expiry of the BRP???

Thanks

That would be like 5 years and 5 months from Entry....so thats still OK??

I guess the time delay between applying for FLR 2 and a half years ago and getting it approved has extended the total allowed time in the UK??

you would think they give a BRP 30 months from when you applied, not from when the approve it...

Thanks

There is no rule that ILR must be applied for at exactly the 5 year or shortly before mark.
