Hi there,
My husband entered uk on 16/10/18 on spouse visa
If BRP expiry is 08/07/21 when do we apply and submit documents is it 1 month prior so can we apply 15th June? as we have savings accordingly to this date?

If you are here on family route (as spouse or unmarried partner), and you entered UK on 33-month visa, then the earliest you can apply to renew your leave on form FLR(M) is on the 30-month anniversary of your UK entry (not from 'valid from' date on your visa, unless you arrived here on the first day of validity), minus 28 days.

So for example, if you arrived in UK on your settlement visa on 17th June 2015, you can apply on 17th December 2017 (30-month anniversary), minus 28 days which will be 19th November 2017. So that's the first day you can book your premium service centre appointment for (for same-day service).

Based on the above your earliest date to apply would be April 2021 (30 months) less 28 days.. However you can apply up to any date up to the end date of your visa.

While you can apply earlier it's best to apply no more than 28 days prior to the expiry date of your husband's BRP. This will give you the biggest 'buffer' as possible when it comes to his ILR application.
