You can apply for Indefinite Leave To Remain or Permanent Resident Status in the UK once you complete 5 years continuous stay in the UK under eligible categories such as HSMP, Tier 1 General or Work Permit.
It is essential that there is no break of residency during this period of eligibility i.e. you should not
be away from the UK continouosly for more than 3 months during your stay.
Please note that stay under ineligible categories such as student visa, IGS, FTS, SEGS, Post Study Work or as visitor is not counted towards the eligible stay towards Indefinite Leave To Remain or ILR. You should also not be away from the UK for more than 6 months during this eligible period of 5 years.
If you are in the UK under HSMP and if your HSMP was applied before 3 April 2006 you may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave To Remain in the UK or UK Residency after completion of 4 years in terms of recent judgement on Judicial Review application. You will NOT need to take Life In The UK Test if your HSMP was applied before 3 April 2006.
AS OISC registered and monitored immigration advisers, we can help you in applying for Indefinite Leave To Remain. Please contact us to see how we can help you in settlement in the UK. Please note that if your ILR application is refused by the Home Office, you would not be eligible for refund of the fees and you may need to apply again for ILR or extension of stay in current category if you have not completed the eligible stay as required.
If your HSMP was approved before November 2006, you may be able to extend your stay in the UK under the OLD HSMP Scheme and you can find more details about the same by selecting 'Old HSMP Scheme' on the left menu
