How do i count months 2 and hald year is it from the day you submit your application or the time you have been granted visa ( extension)

What is written on her visa vignette? Spouse Standard D means 5year route. Another pointer is did you meet the financial and she the English language requirement if appropriate when applying?

I really appreciate you help, im applying spouse extension visa online , before i do this, i want to make sure few doubts are clear.
my wife and son was granted visa dated 14.7.2021 and the expiry date 13.1.24 so my question is. If i apply spouse extension application before expiry ( for instance 26th December). Will it be a short fall of day , when im apply them for ILR.

Hi, they first came to Uk in October 2017 as a  tier 1 dependant spouse visa, In 2018 we had  to put down our paper for tier 1 extension, it was still pending so In 2019 we all varied our existing visa application with Home Office, i got Ilr and for wife and son they rejected her flr m spouse visa, because she could'nt give her english exam as Home office holding her passport, we went for Admin review,after all that,,,,,, judgement was in our favour and then they send my wife passport to do her English Exam,
After passing the English exam , they have granted her visa 14 july 21 and Now her visa expiring 13 jan 2024,
When should i apply her extension spouse visa so that they wouldn't be any shortfall of day in applying ILR.

Family. Settlement means ILR.

What do you mean by your tenancy contract is expired?

The Tenancy Agreement despite having a duration e.g. 1 year stated on it automatically becomes a rolling contract if after the 1 year you continued to stay in the property and meet your contractual obligations stipulated.
Therefore same contract can be submitted.
