Hi,

As I will soon meet the eligibility requirements for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) under the Skilled Worker Visa (5-year route), I would like to inquire about the optimal time to submit my application.

Date of Issue on BRP : 07th April 2021
UK Entry Clearance : Valid from : 26th March 2021 - 24th June 2021
Date of Entry in UK : 12th June 2021

Thanks,

The earliest date which you can be granted ILR is (26th March 2021 + 5 years - 28 days)
You may apply on or even before that date.

See: Applicants can benefit from the date of the ILR decision

Hi Zimba,

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate. Please correct me if I am wrong.

26-03-2021 + (27-03-2021 to 27-03-2026) 5 years - 28 days = Feb 28 2026.

So this means I can apply on Feb 28 2026.

Kind regards,

Yes

Thank you; you are a great help to many people like me.

Hi,

May I know the fees for ILR application for child under 18 years, Skilled Worker Route (5years).

Thanks.

There is only one fee, £2885, all applicants pay the same fee, regardless of age.

Hi,

Just a clarification, is this "on or Before" or "on or After"

Kind regards,

That is the earliest date of eligibility, so on or after this date

Many thanks for your reply.

Hi,

Does any one have a template for letter from Employer for absence (5 years Skilled Worker route) and continuous employment for ILR.

Kind regards,
Tek
