What Are The Most Common Requirements For Indefinite Leave To Remain (ILR)?
Most applicants for ILR are required to satisfy the following requirements to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK:
Residence Requirement
You can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK once you have lived in the UK for a certain number of years as required by the Immigration Rules. In most visa categories, an application for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) can only be made to the Home Office UKVI once the applicant has lived in the UK for a continuous period of at least 5 years. In certain visa categories, an accelerated route to settlement is available whereby the applicant can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) even before completion of 5 years residence in the UK. An application for ILR can be made 28 days prior to completion of the ILR qualifying period.
Absences From The UK
Almost all the work visa categories require all the ILR applicants not to be absent from the UK for more than 180 days in any 12 months during the ILR qualifying period. Such restriction of 180 days does not apply to ILR applications as family members of British Citizens and settled persons.
Not Falling For Refusal On General Grounds
The applicant’s application for ILR should not fall for refusal on general grounds. The general grounds for refusal are set out in Part 9 of the Immigration Rules. A person who has non-custodial sentence or other out of court disposal within last 24 months of the date of application for ILR falls for refusal on general grounds by virtue of paragraph 322(1)(C) of the Immigration Rules.
