Hi I have granted 30 months first my application when i was in Turkey
My first spouse visa 2014 to 2017 (30 Months)
My second spouse visa 2017 to 2020 (30 months)
My third spouse visa 2020 to 2023 (30 months)
So overall it needs to be 120 months(Continues leave in the UK) but waiting times sometimes were really long so i was in total i am over 10 years period but my visa times not reached to 120 months my question is am i eligible because once i make application i will pay £2885 ILR fee.
It states below 120 months but i could not be sure the time spent in the UK or all visa times needs to be 120 months. That leads me to confusion.
