SETTLEMENT & BRITISH CITIZENSHIP
ILR After 10 Years Long Residence
About ILR After 10 Years Long Residence
The long residence route allows people who have lived in the UK continuously and lawfully for a long period to apply for settlement, even where their original visa route did not lead to ILR. The rules look closely at the entire immigration history, any gaps in leave, and time spent outside the UK. Public interest considerations and character also matter. This is a document-heavy and detail-sensitive route, where small errors can lead to refusal. RakLAW Solicitors build a full timeline of your residence and present the evidence the Home Office expects.
Who this is for
- Long-term UK residents on mixed visa routes
- Students, workers or family migrants with continuous leave
- Applicants worried about historic short gaps in leave
- Those refused on long residence grounds previously
How RakLAW helps
- Build a full evidenced residence and travel timeline
- Address gaps, absences and overstaying risks honestly
- Prepare detailed legal representations to the Home Office
- Pursue appeals or judicial review against refusals
