Mr X had been living in the UK for almost 10 years, first entering as a Tier 4 (General) student. Having completed his degree, he secured sponsorship as a Tier 2 (General) migrant and made two further leave to remain applications under the category.
Mr X was aware that he could probably apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) on the basis of his residence as a work visa holder, but he was not sure of all the requirements or exactly when he was eligible to submit his ILR application,
Mr X approached A Y & J Solicitors to help with assessing his circumstances and for support with processing his ILR application, if eligible.
A Y & J Solicitors’ team of UK immigration lawyers reviewed Mr X’s visa and immigration history in order to establish the start and end of his 5-year qualifying period. It turned out that Mr X’s earliest application date had already passed therefore he could apply at any time, provided he passed the Life in the UK test – which was great news for Mr X.
With careful attention to detail, A Y &J Solicitors prepared Mr X’s SET(O) online application form and provided comprehensive guidance on the process and options for expediting the application through the priority services.
