You stated that you made an entry clearance application and your spouse
visa was issued 13 June 2011 and will expire 13 September 2013. You are under the old rules which means that you are eligible for settlement after 2 years spent as the spouse of a British citizen. You entered 22 June 2011 within 90 days of the issue of your visa. For points based system migrants this means that their residency is taken from the issue date rather than the entry date, however, in your case this differs, see below:

If you delayed your entry to the UK
If you were given a visa in this category but you then delayed your travel to the UK by up to 3 months, you can apply for settlement using application form SET(M) shortly before your visa expires. Provided you meet all the other requirements, we will put your application on hold until you have completed your 2-year qualifying period in the UK.

If you were given a visa in this category but you then delayed your travel to the UK by more than 3 months, you will need to apply using application form FLR(M) for a further probationary period of 2 years. If we give you a further probationary period and you meet all the other requirements for settlement (including the knowledge of language and life), you will be able to apply for settlement as soon as you have completed a total of 2 years' probation (adding together your time spent in the UK under your visa and the necessary number of months from your second probationary period).

In terms of applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain, according to the highlighted section above they would put your application "on hold" until you complete the 2 years residency requirement which is fine for a postal application but will not work with a premium appointment. Therefore your residency period begins on the date that you entered, 22 June 2011, and you will complete your 2 years on 22 June 2013.
