Dear Gurus and seniors, please I am very confused now.

My husband applied for ilr in sept 2012 under 5 years work permit and I applied for ilr also as his dependent because I have been his dependent for 5 years also.
our solicitor said we should vary the application and I apply for flr(m) because I got IN10 and LC20 which is a crimnal conviction.

the solicitor said I can then apply for ilr after my conviction has been spent( the rules then was no ilr with criminal record )So i had to vary the application to FLR.
but according to the new rules I can apply for Ilr after 2yrs( my conviction was jan 2012) which will be Jan 2014.

But if I am granted FLR, do I need to wait for another 5 years before I get ILR or can I apply in Jan 2014.

I donot know what to do now and some people even got the ILR with similar convictions.

please advise me.

Apply for FLR and you will be eligible to apply for ILR after Jan 2014

Thank you Gagan for your reply,

I have already varied my ILR application to FLR.

My concern is that people say you have to be on FLR for 5 years before you could apply for ILR in respective of having being on a dependent of someone on work permit for 5 years prior to getting FLR.
Please is that true or not?

Thank you
