Does Refugee Leave to Remain count as 10 years ILR application

Post by rustybook » Tue Dec 19, 2017 5:15 pm

Hi all. I have been in the UK for over 10 years legally. Currently I am on a 5 year Refugee Leave to Remain. I was wondering if I can apply for "indefinite leave to remain" now, or have to wait till 28 days prior to the end of the current leave to remain. Many thanks

My understanding is, all continous legal stay would count towards the 10 year required for ILR on the 10 yeara route.
These are my 'views' and 'opinions'.
If in doubt always seek professional advice, or at least do a search for the relevant information. :P

If i make any mistakes, You are more than welcome to correct me.

You can apply for ILR within 28 days from completing your 10 years.

Thank you for your responses. After contacting home office, it turns out that I will have to wait till 28 days prior to the current Leave to Remain.

That is not correct under SET(LR). UKVI helpline does not provide correct advice
