FLR m visa question - appointment next week.

[cjbrooks]

Dear all,

My husband was granted FLR m when we married 2 years ago. It is due for renewel and we are attending a PEO next week with a premium appointment.

We are on this occasion re applying for FLR as we were late with the life in the UK test (blaming the birth of our baby and us forgetting!)

My question is:
We meet the new financial rules with my salary, husbands salary and good savings.

Is it correct that the only benefit is:
apply before 9 July - 2 years til ILR or apply after and we get 5 years? or does this not apply if we are applying for a renewal of FLR.

Grateful for any help as we are working out the pros and cons for whichever route we apply.
