How long to wait for before I can apply for ILR base on my conviction

[tundeking22]

Hello everyone here, please I want be clarified with my situation on my immigration status, I was conviction in February 2014 for 8month for the offence I committed in December 2013 and i spent 4month, now I have a spouse visa with my British partner for the second time which will run out December 2020 and I was told by a lawyer that I have to wait for 7years before I can't apply for ILR base on my custody conviction which is 8month. I want to know now if my 7years count from the time of the offence or when I was been sentence because I am confuse on it.in my own thought I was thinking the 7years period will be completed by next year base on when the offence time but I want to be sure about it if I can apply for my ILR next year. I will like to get a good clarification on it.thank

See below from the UK Immigration Rules:
You must refuse an application for indefinite leave to remain if an applicant was convicted of
an offence and sentenced to less than 12 months imprisonment. See related links for
paragraphs 322(1C)(iii) and S-ILR1.5 in Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules. This is
unless a period of seven years has passed since the end of the sentence.
You must take the end of sentence to mean the entire sentence imposed, not just the time a
person spent in prison. For instance, an applicant who is sentenced to nine months
imprisonment on 1 January 2013 will not be granted settlement until 1 January 2020 (seven
years added to the end of the nine month sentence imposed).
