Any Senior Members would you like to share your expertise .

Then the earliest your wife can apply if 5 years from the point she became legal - which is May 2008 - so May 2013. On your side - the earliest you can apply is Nov 2012 (one year after your ILR). That would actually mean, assuming you were then a citizen, your wife could apply for it immediately a...

The procedure is as I said: A spousal visa will give you two years' limited leave to remain. At the end of the two years', you should get ILR. As a spouse of a British citizen, you can normally get naturalisation if you have been in the UK legally for three years and you have ILR when you apply. If...

Different soliciters say diff things Sir .

one said you start counting from 2006 and the others say from 2007 .

and some also say from 2008 when discretionary leave was given.

So I am confused .

Please be kind enough to advice me .

Many Thanks
