SETTLEMENT & BRITISH CITIZENSHIP

ILR as a Skilled Worker

About ILR as a Skilled Worker

Skilled Worker visa holders can apply for settlement after completing the qualifying period of sponsored employment in an eligible role. The Home Office will check that your sponsorship has remained valid, that salary thresholds for your role have been met, and that absences from the UK fall within the permitted limits. Career changes, redundancies and supplementary work all need careful handling. RakLAW Solicitors review your employment and travel record alongside your sponsor's records, then build a clear, well-documented ILR application designed to be granted at the first attempt.

Who this is for

  • Skilled Worker visa holders nearing settlement
  • Workers who have changed sponsor or role
  • Migrants with frequent international travel for work
  • Health, care and shortage occupation workers

How RakLAW helps

  • Check sponsorship history, salary and role eligibility
  • Audit UK absences against the settlement rules
  • Draft application with employer and HMRC evidence
  • Defend refusals tied to sponsor or salary issues
