If your wife is on the 5 year spouse route then she can apply for ILR once she has been in the UK for 5 years.klite12 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 1:19 amHi guys, I have 2 questions.
1. My wife's going to be in the UK for 5 years now in October, 2022. However her BRP card expires in June 2023. Can we apply for ILR in October 2022? Or if we want to, can we apply for the ILR say January 2023 hypothetically? How does this work.
Hey, thanks for the reply. So just to clarify. Is the date she physically entered the UK or the date her visa was granted?If your wife is on the 5 year spouse route then she can apply for ILR once she has been in the UK for 5 years.
She may apply 28 days prior to reaching the 5 years.
The latest date you can apply would be before the current visa expires ie June 2023.
If you have all the required paperwork/finances I would suggest you apply as soon as she reaches the 5 years, as if your circumstances change after this and you would then have an issue.
For spouse visa, the relevant date is that on which she entered the UK.klite12 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 11:52 pmHey, thanks for the reply. So just to clarify.

Ahh understood, thank you!For spouse visa, the relevant date is that on which she entered the UK.
NO effect. The decision under the family route is based on your financial circumstances on the day of application as per rulesklite12 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 12:42 amHi,
I was wondering, if someone was to resign, change, or get dismissed from their job while their ILR application is being processed (I.E Not granted as of that moment of time) - does this hold any bearing on the application? I'm just curious as during my previous spouse visa extensions my lawyer had told me that until it's approved you cannot leave or change your job. Is the process different for the ILR?
So if the home office was to contact your employer to verify your documents and they advise this employee no longer works here as of X date then would they reject your application?
Just curious about this really as I'm a recent graduate and considering different employment options which are all coinciding with our spouse visa ILR date!
Thank you Zimba! I was by my lawyer that they may call afterwards which may lead to issues but it always confused me as the application had already been submitted.
Thanks a lot for your help Zimba, it's greatly appreciated. Last thing I wanted to confirm, and I do apologise for the abundance of questions.
