Hi, this question is for a friend (no, really--my ILR days are behind me). She has just got a test date for the LiUK test--the soonest she can get is more than a month away, and her spouse visa expires at the beginning of December, so she's in a bit of a panic.
Having gone through the process myself I'm trying to help but want to make sure I'm giving accurate information:
As she came in on a spouse visa in 2012 she is under the "old rules." So the application she needs to make next is for ILR, right? And it has to be within 28 days of the spouse visa expiry date, but before it expires?
Thank you all for your help, as always.
