ILR – Very Significant Obstacles To Integration
You can apply for ILR upon completion of 10 years in the UK with leave to remain granted on the basis of very significant obstacles to integration. The very significant obstacles to integration category is a 10 years route to settlement and therefore an application for ILR can only be made once a person has spent 10 years in the UK continuously with leave to remain on the basis of very significant obstacles to integration.
Some of the applicants who have been granted leave to remain under the very significant obstacles to integration category would complete 10 years continuous and lawful residence to be granted ILR under 10 years long residence category rather than 10 years under the very significant obstacles to integration category.
Our expert team of immigration solicitors are specialists in dealing with ILR applications on the basis of very significant obstacles to integration.
