My spouse is British citizen. I came to UK in Dec 2005 on dependent visa. In May 2008 I changd my visa to then work permit visa. In May 2011 I changed my visa status to dependent visa (my spouse being British national). In Dec 2012, I will complete 6 yrs in UK. Can I apply for ILR now or can I only apply 28 days prior to when my current visit is ending, which is in April 2013. Thanks

Assuming you have leave to remain as spouse of a settled person / British citizen, yes.

Just to clarify, I can only apply 28 days prior to my current visa expiry date. Thanks

You can apply no earlier than 28 days before the expiry of your current leave and, ideally, no later than the expiry date.
