Settlement (ILR)
ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain), also known as settlement or permanent residency, is a status in the United Kingdom's immigration system that allows individuals to live and work in the UK without any time restrictions. It provides the holder with the right to remain in the UK indefinitely. ILR is an important milestone for many immigrants, as it signifies a significant level of integration into British society and can lead to British citizenship, if desired.
ILR eligibility and requirements may vary depending on the specific immigration category under which you are applying, such as work visas, family visas, or refugee/asylum statuses. Applicants often need to demonstrate a certain period of continuous residence in the UK, meet language and life in the UK test requirements, and provide evidence of good character, among other conditions.
It's important to note that immigration rules and ILR requirements can change, so it's advisable to consult with an immigration solicitor for the most up-to-date information and guidance on the ILR application process.
