Visitors Visitors applying for ILR or another category may be refused under 9.23.1. ( previously 322(7) ) because of V 4.2 (a) & (c) (previously 41(i) & (ii)), unless there was a change of circumstances.
Includes people under the EEA regulations.

Note that dependants cannot be included. See also what category and what form?

Non-PBS dependants who satisfy 196E or 198 may apply for SET(O) directly. However, it may be different for PBS-dependants.
UK-born children may be entitled to register for British citizenships.

Overstayers may apply for entry clearance (unless they had been refused leave before departing the UK) or leave to remain within 28 days.

There is no concession relating to entry clearance (Start date). Early applications.


Long residence
Early applications
This page tells you what you must do if you receive an application for indefinite leave on the basis of long residence before an applicant has completed their period of 10 years qualifying leave.

You must consider all valid applications, even if the applicant has not yet completed the necessary qualifying period for indefinite leave. The long residence rule requires applicants to have at least 10 years continuous residence in the UK before they can qualify for indefinite leave.

Applications being considered more than 28 days before the required qualifying period is completed

If you are considering an application more than 28 days before the applicant completes the required qualifying period for long residence you must refuse. This is because the applicant has not completed the required period of leave in the UK.

You must fully consider the case and mention any other reasons for refusal in addition to the applicant not spending enough time in the UK to complete the qualifying period. For example, all breaks in continuous residence.

Applicants who are refused under the long residence rules due to them submitting their application too early can re-apply once they have completed their qualifying leave or up to 28 days before this.

Applications being considered 28 days or less before the required qualifying period is completed

You can grant an application if it is considered 28 days or less before the applicant completes the required qualifying period, provided they meet all the other rules for long residence.

Changes.
Appendix Long Residence

A new Appendix Long Residence is being introduced, replacing the existing rules. In order to qualify for settlement, people must have held leave in their route for one year or have been exempt from immigration control within the 12 months immediately before their application.
