Spouse Visa Extension Question

Post by RSJoe » Sun Feb 20, 2022 1:39 pm

My wife came to the UK on a fiancée visa arriving on the 12/04/2019. After we got married she applied for a Spouse Visa which was approved from the 05/11/2019 and is valid until 02/06/2022.

My question is when is the earliest she can apply for a Spouse Visa extension? 30 days before it expires or earlier because she has spent more than 30 months in the UK?

Thanks, Paul.

The fiance visa doesn't count towards residence for qualifying for ilr.

She should apply for an extension of the spouse visa within 28 days before reaching 30 months residence on a spouse FLR M visa
