Further to this I just wanted know whether there are any difference in waiting times to being granted your extension to DLR (2ND DLR) compared to when you apply for the 1st DLR....for example would the waiting time be less when applying for your 2nd DLR?
Can I just confirm that if you have been granted your 1st DLR prior to july 9th and it expires after july 9th then you can still apply for a 2nd DLR and then continue to ILR under old rules?
Hi Vinny I am too in a similar situation - I am wondering whether my spouse should switch current DLR status to spousal visa abroad or wait till current DLR finishes then do another 3 year DLR. Basically I am wondering which will be quicker - changing status abroad or waiting for the second DLR afte...
Hi Could anybody tell me their experience how long they have had to wait from submission of an extension to their 1st DLR to getting the 2nd DLR.

Great question - in addition to his does anybody have any information regarding the process of how you go about doing a switch from DLR to spousal (out of UK-entry clearance)? Would it be a more straight forward or more difficult process than if you were not applying to switch to anoother category? ...
do you know the very latest you could make this switch during the period of a DLR visa...i.e no later that the 1st year of DLR 2nd year?

Thanks for the info Thandia So is it from my understanding switching to spousal needs to be done out of country (physically....i.e. my spouse would need to be out of the country at the time of applying for the leave to enter spousal visa)...also do you know the very latest you could make this switch...
Hey It was a long 2 and 3/4 years from the application that is why i am hesitant about doing another DLR for my spouse again before ILR and considering an out of country 2 year spousal visa so I can go straight to ILR but I would like to know the pros and cons in light of my situation described above.
Hi Thanks but I don't think you understand my questions - I have been advised that an out of country 2 year spousal visa would be quicker than in country due to the home office's longer waiting times plus out of country application is less likely to hold my partners previous overstayer issue against...
I am British my partner works full time but very soon I won't be and me personally by then I will probably have no savings but my partner has already started saving.
Hi My partner was issued with a discretionary leave to remain visa for 3 years last year.
