Immigration Law advice

Settlement or Indefinite Leave to Remain is the legal status granted to a person who is allowed to settle in the UK but is not yet a citizen. Settlement/Indefinite Leave to Remain is granted to foreign citizens after they have spent a specified period in the UK who qualify for settlement under the Immigration rules.

Your right to apply for Settlement/Indefinite Leave to Remain will depend on the Immigration category you have been given, which is dependent on factors including:

  • whether you are working in the UK.
  • whether you have partners and family members in the UK.
  • whether you are seeking asylum in the UK.
  • whether you have invested a certain amount of money in the UK.
  • whether you have lived in the UK for a requisite period of time.

To be granted Settlement/Indefinite Leave to Remain, most applicants will need to show that they can speak and understand the English language and have a good understanding of life in the UK. Settlement/Indefinite Leave to Remain is granted when you have met the criteria of UK Immigration rules or if you are seeking Settlement/Indefinite Leave to Remain in special circumstances.
