ILR Eligibility
Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2025 7:59 pm
Hi,
I have a question regarding the date when I’m eligible to apply for ILR.
I was on an ICT Dependent visa and was working in a company. My employer decided to sponsor me and I was issued a CoS for 3 years and then for 2 years. The details are as below:
CoS Job start date - 1 Oct 2020
CoS Job end date - 30 Sep 2023
Visa application submitted - 17 Sept 2020
Visa issue/decision date - 29 Nov 2020
Visa end date - 14 Oct 2023
Cos Job Start date - 1 Oct 2023
Cos Job end date - 30 Sep 2025
Visa issue/decision date - 17 Nov 2023
Visa end date - 14 Oct 2025
Although I submitted my first application in Sep 2020, my decision was delayed due to Covid and I have an email from UKVI stating the delay due to Covid.
Can you clarify when I can submit my ILR application? Can I consider the Covid delay to my benefit in this case and apply now (as I had submitted my first application on Sep 17, 2020)? Please advise.
