Hi All!
My wife is on the verge of applying for her ILR after passing her LITUK test in December. She currently has an ILE (KOL REQ). I understand ILE and ILR are in many ways the same. But I am confused to an extent as to our particular situation.
We arrived in the UK from China on November 5th 2011 after having been married and living in China together for 7 consecutive years. Therefore as we were already married overseas for 4+ years, it is a 3 year wait instead of 5 years until we can apply for her naturalisation.
Of course we want her ILR application to go smoothly.
My question is:
Does the 3 years begin from the date of entry on her ILE (November 5th 2011), or does it begin from the date that her ILR status is granted (which would be sometime this month [Jan 2012] all being well)? I'm probably missing something obvious...
Her current ILE visa settlement spouse/cp kol req is valid from 10th Oct 2011 until 10th Jan 2014.
I'm grateful as always for your help. Thank you.
