FLR to ILR

[sanblazer]

Dear Friends,

I have a bit of confusion.Not seen too many posts on FLR's on this forum.

My wife's FLR is up for renewal on 29th September , so if we go for a extension on say 1st week of September on a premium service , from when will her new FLR VISA start ?

For eg: if they give from the same date as she has applied , there will still be a shortfall of 1 month, on the 5 years period required for IRL.So will that mean she has to go for one more extension to cover off that 1 month period. I am hoping not

Can someone please clarify this for me ?

ps: I was under ILR when we initially applied for her FLR, I am a British Citizen now, so would it be better to simply make her spouse of a British Citizen ,but that would mean resetting the clock for her ILR to 3 years.

KInd Regards,
Sandeep

From what I've seen, applying for an extension or ILR a month earlier or later doesn't have much impact on the application.
