We are a specialised UK immigration law firm.
This video is about ILR or Settlement application. I will be sharing a case study on a long residency.
If you have completed ten years continuous lawful residence in the UK then you may qualify for settlement / permanent residency in the UK.
You wish to continue your stay or prefer to be settled in the UK for various reasons including but not limited to the better law and order situation, sense of safety & security, finest democratic environment, excellent justice system, better life style in a very well-developed country.
A non-exhaustive requirement to qualify for this application shall be ten years of continuous lawful residence, Life in the UK test, English Language qualification, no criminal conviction and any other requirement based on the relevant immigration rules at the time of application.
Let me share our recent success.
A very high profile, NON-EU permanent diplomat, I would call him here as ‘Mr FM’ who instructed us for his settlement application. He was exempt from immigration control for more than ten years in the UK with a diplomatic status valid during the period of his employment. Though he was exempt from immigration control, he was not settled or permanent residence in the UK.
We provided a complete hand holding support to achieve a positive outcome for this client.
Mr FM was benefited with his highly desirable Permanent Residency (i.e. Indefinite leave to remain or Settlement) in the UK.
Complicating factors to consider for this case were:
Number 1 – Mr FM was a very busy, high profile diplomat with very limited time resources for his Immigration application.
Number 2 – Mr FM was on a diplomatic visa (i.e. exempt from immigration control). Therefore, his application could not have been considered straight away under his visa category.
We managed to conquer all above challenges successfully for our client. This was only possible due to our:
1. Strong understanding the UK immigration rules on Long Residency.
2. Our close relationship with niche barristers who are specialised in the UK immigration rules.
3. A strong, innovative legal team with a positive outlook to assist our client.
The expert team at A Y & J Solicitors has had success with gaining Indefinite leave to remain for clients in a variety of challenging circumstances. We were able to obtain settlement also known as Indefinite leave to remain (ILR) for these clients using our experience, expertise and innovative mindset. We have secured future for honest, hard-working people as a result of our expertise and determination.

"Review for Ikra – AY&J Solicitors I had the pleasure of working with Ikra to assist my mother-in-law in obtaining her UK visiting visa, and I cannot speak highly enough of her. From start to finish, her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care were outstanding. Ikra guided us through each step of the process with clarity and patience, ensuring that every detail was correct and that we understood what was required. Her responsiveness and dedication made what could have been a stressful experience smooth and straightforward. It’s rare to encounter someone so committed to both excellence and client care — Ikra is truly a credit to AY&J Solicitors. I would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of immigration assistance."
"I'd definitely recommend A Y & J. Imad worked with me on my application for indefinite leave to remain - he took care of the application, guided me through the paperwork to round up, and answered (numerous) questions about requirements and expectations for the process. When I had problems with my bank during our call to submit the application, he set up a second call the same day - I really appreciated this kindness. I received the ILR on the earliest possible date - couldn't be happier!"
"I highly recommend Ikra Ahmed from AY&J Solicitors for any immigration needs. The process can be stressful, but Ikra's expertise and calm approach made a huge difference.
