Settlement Visa
When you are applying for a settlement visa in the UK, it’s extremely important you do everything correctly. We can assist you for your ILR application.
Many of the UK’s migration categories lead to settlement. Notable exceptions are entry as a visitor, student, a Tier 5 migrant or a Tier 2 intra-company transferee. For many long-term categories, there is a 5-year qualifying period, but you should also bear in mind the general “long residence” rule which permits those in a variety of categories to settle after 10 years.
UK settlement applications
It is important to be aware of the particular requirements for your immigration category. Most, for example, require you to provide evidence of continuous lawful residence; a certain number of days’ away from the UK are acceptable, but there are strict limits, and the way the Home Office calculates absences can be tricky to understand.
Consequently, if you’re looking to apply for settlement in the UK, you should ensure that you have good legal support. Settling means you can stay in the UK without any time restrictions; you will retain that status unless you leave the UK for a continuous 2-year period, or commit serious criminal offences.
