Hi, my younger brother has been in the UK over half his life and is now 18+, wanted to check if he is eligible to apply for ILR, or he needs to wait till 10 years are complete?

What visa is your younger brother on?

Under Appendix Private Life rules, a young adult born outside the UK must meet the 'half life' test in order to qualify for ILR, assuming they are under the private life route.

Hi, he is currently a dependant on a skilled worker visa, with his 10 years completing this July.

Previously, he has been a dependent on a Tier 2 ICT visa for 9 years.

He settles when both parents settle or settles under long residence after his 10 years of continuous lawful residence. The private life route does not apply here
