Within 3 months of the visa issue date to avoid having to apply (and pay for) and extension later on.

So that's why they give 27 months probationary period. OK thanks for the info :)

It used to be 27 months probationary period, but this changed to 5 years on the 9th of July. There will however be a half way stage at 30 months, where further leave for the remaining 30 months will require another visa application.

I applied in June 8) the new rules seems a bit mean really, why test the genuineness of a marriage involving children for another 5 years!? What more proof do they want :?
