Hello! I came back to the UK in December 2011 on a spouse visa. The visa expired on March 15th 2014 and I applied for an extension rather than apply for ILR because I failed the Life in the UK test. I got my spouse visa extension in May 2014. It will expire in May 2016.

When I apply for ILR in 2016, will I still fall under pre-July 2012 regulations or post?

Thank you to those who answer!

You can apply for ILR as soon as you meet the requirements of LIUK and B1 English test. Pre July 12 rules should apply.

So it means I can apply for my ILR next month or anytime before May 2016 given I've passed the Life in the UK test? I did IELTS in 2011 and scored 7. When I extended my spouse visa I didn't sit for another IELTS exam. I submitted the expired certificate. Is there anywhere I can find out more about it please? Thank you very much!
