Please could i have some assistance with a question i have. I need to know for sure the window for applying for ILR. Here are the dates involved.

2 year settlement visa issued on 07/06/2010
Entered UK on 03/07/2010
2 settlement visa expires 07/09/2011

This is a visa is for my husband i am a UK national. We have been married for 5 years and together for 7. The first 5 years of relationship were spent in his country where we both lived and worked.


He has been living and working soley in UK until now. I need to know the window time frame for applying as unfortunatley he has beeen made redundant from his job and is looking for work agian now. I don't know whether to apply as soon as we can even though he is not working or to hold on until a month or so in case he does find work.

We have all the papers in place but we just need to get our marriage/his brith certificate translated even tho we didnt need to for settlement visa. So confusing.
Your thoughts and assistance are needed.

Many thanks

No earlier than 28 days before the 2nd anniversary of entry in the UK as spouse of a settled person or British citizen and no later than the date of expiry of current leave.
It doesn't matter if he is employed at the time of application or not, as long as you can provide evidence that you can maintain him without recourse to public funds.
