Do I qualify for ILR?

[Nora_Nora]

Hi,

I'm a new member here and would like to ask a few questions regarding ILR whether I quality or not.
I entered UK in June 2006 with student visa and been living in the UK until now (now with Tier 4 student visa).
I met my husband (British citizen) in 2006 and been living together since 2007. However, we've just got married recently.
My questions are as follows:

1. What is the next visa type should I apply? Should I apply for spouse visa and then ILR?
2. Do I quality for ILR? as I have been living in the UK for almost 8 years, does the time as student visa can quality for ILR after I got married?
3. How long does it take for me to get a British citizenship?

Thank you very much. I am looking forward to hearing for you guys.

1. FLR(M).
2. When you complete 10 years in 2016, apply for ILR under Long Residence.
3. Probably eligible to apply Immediately after ILR.

Thank you vinny for a prompt reply. It's really helpful. I do have a question about FLR (M), which route I go for 2 year or 5 year routes?
Really appreciate your answer.

Really appreciate your answer.

There is only one route: 5 year. But you are eligible to apply for ILR using Set (LR) once you reach 28 days before 10 years in the UK.
