Pls advise
I believe in July last year they increased the length of the spouse visa from 24 months to 27 months. Maybe you applied or were approved at slightly different times, or it was just the caseworker didn't know about the change in rules.
The earliest both of you can apply for ILR is 28 days prior to the 2 year anniversary of your arrival in the UK. If you delayed your journey to the UK and that date falls after your visa expires you may have to apply for FLR first.
