Student & PSW wouldn't count towards settlement (Other than 10 yrs Long Residence) Your FLR(M) started on 20/10/2012 which lasts until 20/10/2014, assuming that your sponsor has already got ILR I'd say 28 days before your FLR(M) expiry.

Normally not before 28 days of your visa expiry

Hi, Dont they count the period from the date of registration of marriage which was august 2011 and two years are completed in august 2013.

I wish it was that easy...coz to Marry some one you don't need a spouse visa..it's a human right.

very clever system. like i applied last year and they started my visa from this year. one year has gone in the air. so it would be three years after marriage, i can apply for ILR.

Sadly yes it is clever!! why shouldn't it be? Think of a situation...A person comes into this country on a Student Visa (3 yrs) and somehow manages to marry someone within 6 months. Do you reckon he/she should be allowed to get Indefinite leave straight away...

you are lucky enough to fall into old rules...and thanks to the sham marriages, they've increased this 2 yrs qualifying period to 5 yrs and to add spice to it they got renew after 2 1/2 years...which means more money and time...
