Hello all,

Please note that i will be using the PEO only just incase you need these information in order to aid the calculation.

Thank you so much for your replies.

If your date of entry to the UK (as the spouse of a BC) was 02/11/2010, then the second anniversary of date of entry would be 02/11/2012. So, thereby the earliest you can apply is 28 days before 02/11/2012. The latest would be the current visa expiry date (18/01/2013).

Q - What is the earliest day I can apply for ILR?
A - One can apply no earlier than 28 days before the 2nd (family route) / 4th (HSMP before 03-Apr-06) / 5th (other economic migrants) anniversary of either date of entry in the UK (overseas applications) or date of switching (in-country applications). In all cases, one must apply for ILR or for another visa before expiry of current visa.
Use the date calculator to ascertain the "28 days window".
