If you let us know exactly when you arrived in the UK and when your visa expires then we can give you some more accurate advice.

The rules may change, so you may want to check nearer the time.

If the rules don't change you will need to apply apply for ILR before your visa expires. The earliest you can apply is 28 days before the date you would have been in the UK 2 years (july/august 2010). To apply for ILR you need to pass the life in the UK test (or take an english qualification that includes the life in the UK element).

Just google "life in the UK test centres" and you should be able to find your nearest test centre.
