can you please advise me what documents are required for ILR application under 2 years-spouse Vs 10 years long stay?CR001 wrote:You can apply for ILR based on 10 years long residence and can use a combination of any UK continuous visa status during the 10 years stay.
You can apply in person for a same day decision or apply by post. The documents you need for 10 years ILR is much less than Set(M) spouse visa.

Spouse Visa ILR SET(M) after 5 years residence (you don't qualify yet and would need an extension on FLR(M)

Which indicates you are under the new rules.I switched to spouse visa in Feb-2013
It does not indicate that you were a PBS dependent on your spouse at any time to be covered by the transitional provisions.Sep-2004 on student visa and extended student visa multiple times

It's very strange because the letter I received at the time of my my spouse visa application (peo Croydon same day) states that I can apply for ILR after 2 years.
Is the 2/5 year rule completely black and white without any exceptions? If you applied for a spouse visa AFTER 9th July 2012, it is 5 years for ILR, there are no exceptions unless applying under 10 years long residence as I have already advised.
Isn't there any special consideration for applicants who were already in the UK when they applied for Spouse visa. In my case I was on student visa valid for more than a year when I applied for spouse visa in February 2013. At that time I was already in the UK for nearly 9 years. If you only applied in Feb 2013, you are under the new rules of 5 years for ILR if you apply for ILR based on 5 years residence. If you apply for ILR based on 10 years long residence, it makes no difference, you can apply with a combination of any valid visa once you qualify
