I am a British Citizen, and my wife moved here in September 2018 on Family of a Settled Person Visa. This is due to expire in May 2021, and we are starting to think about applying for another 2.5 years.
2 Questions:
1. When should we apply, to ensure that we will have reached 5 years upon expiry to go for ILR?
2. If the application is submitted before May 2021 when her current Visa Expires, but is not processed before then, will she be able to continue to live and work in the U.K. legally until a decision is made?
Thanks
