Quick answers to common questions. For tailored advice on your facts, book a consultation.
It depends on your category. Some Private Life/child or young adult routes can qualify after 5 years; most adults on Family/Private Life qualify after 10 years. We’ll map your exact category and timeline.
Some time can be combined depending on the rules for your category. We review your immigration history and confirm what counts and what does not.
We check your residence across the qualifying period and explain any long/frequent absences. Evidence like tenancy/council tax, school/GP letters and bank statements helps demonstrate residence.
Most adult applicants must meet KoLL (Life in the UK + English B1) unless exempt (e.g., age or medical). We confirm requirements and acceptable proofs (SELT/degree with ECCTIS where needed).
Family Life focuses on relationship/parental responsibility and residence; Private Life focuses on length of residence, integration and ties in the UK. We provide a tailored checklist and templates for both.
Travel can affect an in-country ILR application. Speak to us before travelling so we can explain the risks and timing options.
We review the decision rapidly and advise on next steps — correcting errors, providing further evidence, or exploring review/appeal routes where available.
