Confused After Spouse Visa

[alsanober]

Hello Guys, i have got a question to ask, if i may

I applied for spouse visa on 25 Feb 2013 and was granted spouse visa on 21 Mar 2013 and i got my BRP card on 25 Mar. I switched from Post-Study Work visa to spouse visa. I entered UK last time on 22 April 2012.

I got my documents a day after with my passport and all the documents. In that package there is a letter giving some information about public funds and all. It also says that i can apply for ILR after two years provided i have stayed in the UK for 2 years.

Now the rules were changed where i would have to spend 5 years to get ILR, so why does that page say 2 years rather than 5 years.

Thank you

When you have transitional protection the pre July 2012 rules apply which requires 2 years flr(m) prior to ilr there are also no specific income rules. Where the person has no transitional protection the new rules apply from July 2012 which requires 5 years flr(m) for ilr and also requires specific income I.e. around £18k per annum gross for a couple with no dependant children.

Transitional arrangements are listed here http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary if you are not mentioned as once of the protected groups then you are under the new rules. The reason 2 years will be quoted is because 2 years is given then you apply again and a further extension is given until you have reached 5 years and can apply for ILR (or possibly longer if for example you are not considered of good character).

You are on the new rules as you were not on the family path before July 2012.

You are on the new rules as you were not on the family path before July 2012.

i would have thought so but i am confused because it says on that leaflet that i can apply after two year using SET (M) form and all. it tells me what form to use and how to apply ILR

it says

"Please Understand any future application that you make in the marriage category will be assessed against paragraphs 284 or 287 or 295D or 295G of the immigration rules."


any suggestions?
