New private life 5 year route to settlement
Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2022 9:33 am
Hi all
I am completing my application for indefinite leave to remain under the new private life route to settlement on the basis that I am between the age of 18 - 25 and have lived in the UK for more than half my life, as well as having completed at least 5 years qualifying residence. As this is a new route I am slightly confused:
1. Which option do I select from this list:
“Category of settlement
Why are you applying for settlement?
(Required)
You are under 18 and the child of a British citizen, or a person with a visa or immigration permission
You are over 18 and had a visa or permission as a child
You have refugee status or humanitarian protection
You have permission on the private life route (you have checked your BRP or grant letter to confirm)
You were born in the UK and have lived here continuously for 7 or more years
None of the above”
I am unsure whether to select permission on the private life route or over 18 and had permission/visa as a child as both are true for me. I was granted PL route as a child. Based on the guidance I think it is the former but
i am not sure. https://www.gov.uk/apply-indefinite-lea ... ivate-life
2. I am not seeing an option for super priority service. I checked at 1 am but unfortunately nothing. Is priority service available for this type of application? I checked the table but as this is a new route it is not on there yet.
Many thanks for your help
