Thanks for the reply CROO1, but one of the solicitor told me that it doesn't matter when u applied , all it matters is when your visa was issued. Appreciate your help.

I have applied for spouse visa on February 2012 and got my visa on 24-07-2012 and expires on 24-07-2014.
18600 rules apply for me or not????? Ilr is next or I have to apply for extension????? Help please...
