You don't need one, you can always just write for each of the 10 years what you immigration status was and explain any issues if there are any.

Hope the below given letter will give you some idea drafting your letter.



UK Border Agency Date
SET (O)
Indefinite Leave to Remain
PO BOX 591
Durham
DH1 9FS


Sub: Application for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the Category of (10 years) Long Residence in the UK.

Ref: Name -
Date of Birth -
Place of Birth -
Passport No. -
Place of Issue -
Nationality -

Residence Permit No.

Respected Sir / Madam,

This will confirm my sworn statement in the direction of my application regarding Indefinite Leave to Remain under the category of Long Residence here in United Kingdom.

With reference to the above I (Name), the applicant writing directly to seek Indefinite Leave to Remain on the basis of 10 years continuous lawful long residence in the UK. I have attached to this lettering all the needful and supporting documentary evidences for your kind pursuable and consideration.

Indeed, I was granted my first entry clearance as a student on (Date). Subsequent to my initial entry clearance as a student I was then granted Leave to Remain by further extensions from (Year). My last Leave to Remain was issued on (Date) and is valid until (Date).

Now that, the original passports are enclosed herewith as a proof to my 10 years residence and for your convenience I have listed all the relevant dates below.

Leave to Remain Leave to Remain
(Issued / Extensions) (Expiry)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
01 / 01 / 2002 01 / 01 / 2003

01 / 01 / 2003 01 / 01 / 2004

01 / 01 / 2004 01 / 01 / 2006

01 / 01 / 2006 01 / 01 / 2007

01 / 01 / 2007 01 / 01 / 2008

01 / 01 / 2008 01 / 01 / 2009

01 / 01 / 2009 01 / 01 / 2012

01 / 01 / 2012 01 / 01 / 2014
It is evident that all the above various Leaves to Remain are clearly printed in my passport. More precisely during all this time I have continued to live in the UK with my spouse and children.

Besides, I strongly believe that I should be considered under paragraph 276 of the Immigration Rules (Long Residence) since I have completed 10 years in the UK and have the rightful anticipation of being granted (ILR) Indefinite Leave to Remain under the Rules. However, please find the enclosed herewith a duly completed SET (LR) application together with the requisite photographs and a payment of £991/- along with the following supporting documents;

1. Indian Passports (2 Nos.)
2. Life in the UK Test – Pass Notification – Test Dated, 8th September, 2012
3. Appendix – 1 (Immigration History)
4. Biometric Card

Finally, I submit that I haven’t had any problems completing the period of 10 years and have successfully completed the 10 years legal status in the UK. As a result, I believe that a good judgement ought to be exercised in favour for the following reasons;

1. I have completed 10 years in the UK successfully by achieving various qualifications. And for the purpose I have worked and maintained myself without recourse to public funds.

2. I haven’t had any breaks of legal status and always maintained the immigration rules.

3. I have established a private and family life in the UK and it would be very difficult for me to relocate to any other country after having spent 10 years continuous in the UK.

4. I am a person of impeccable character during all the time that I have spent in the UK.

In view of the above the documentation enclosed would be enough to make a successful application and request you to be kind enough to grant the (ILR) Indefinite Leave to Remain in the United Kingdom. However, should you require any further information in this regard, kindly please do not hesitate to contact me at he below given address.

Thanking you in anticipation of the favourable outcome.


Yours faithfully,
