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.

Actually my mate applied about two weeks before me, and she got hers with 27months endorsement whereas i got 24months. So i guess its the caseworker.

So she doesnt need to wait for 27months does she? she needs 23months and on the 24th month she can apply? is that correct?

She doesn't need to wait 27 months after the visa was granted. Though as I just said she does need to wait until 23 months after she arrived in the UK (not 23 months after the visa was granted).
