You posted this in the wrong forum. And the title is not very informative.

That said, I do not know information which will help you.

Hi There, in this case i do believe there's some law who has changed to help some of people as the same situation as this poor man.

just to let you know if he entered the UK under visa and can proove that he lived here for a period of 7 years he needs to provide some documents of course and need to apply with a solicitor, i do believe that he is allowed to get the ILR, I know some people who got it 3 years ago.
