E-ILRP.1.3. wrote:(2) In calculating periods of leave for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) above, any period of leave to enter or limited leave to remain as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner will be excluded.
The OP switched from fiancee to spouse visa on 21/11/2013. I believe that the OP can apply for ILR 28 days before 21/11/2018 and before the visa expires on 26/11/2018.vinny wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 1:57 amUnfortunately, Leave as a Fiancé(e) does not count under E-ILRP.1.3. (1)(a) towards the 5-year qualifying period for SET(M).

I believe that your qualifying period started from when you switched to the spouse visa (21/11/2013) and can apply for ILR not earlier than 28 days before 21/11/2018 and must be done before your visa expires. The earliest you can apply is 24/10/2018/ https://www.timeanddate.com/date/datead ... ad=28&rec=Greenshoot wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 12:04 amHi,
I have first entered the UK by holding fiance/marriage visitor visa on 14/08/2013
Then granted my spouse visa (BRP card) 21/11/2013
After completing first 30 months, I have extended it following the '5 year route' accordingly which now my BRP card will be expired on 26/11/2018
I am aware that it must be 28 days before my qualifying period and what I understand is I could apply from 24/10/2018 but why my agent advised that I could apply earlier than that by base on the date that I entered the UK (with fiance visa) and already booked a premium serivce appointment for me on 22/10/2018 ..
Could you/anyone please kindly advise whether I was right ot the agent? Or how to calculate my qualifying period correctly ?
Many thanks,
P
