Settlement in the UK is not all that of an easy thing to go about. You come to the UK on a given visa, it could be a student visa, a visa sponsored by your spouse or your workplace or you may have set up a business in the UK. In either case, one makes an effort to obtain UK citizenship. There can be many complexities and delicacies in the entire process. Therefore, if you are looking forward to obtaining a UK settlement, might as well find yourself the best immigration lawyers in UK to do the job for you.

After you spend a given amount of time in the UK, you are eligible for an ILR, indefinite leave to remain. Once you obtain your ILR, you have, more or less, most of the rights of a citizen in the UK. However, you are still not a citizen of the UK if you have an ILR, but your ILR can be translated into citizenship. Once you spend a continuous period of 12 months in the UK after obtaining your ILR, you are eligible for citizenship.

Getting your ILR successfully is the big deal here and we work with some of the Best Immigration Solicitors in London to ensure the approval of your indefinite leave to remain. Most of the visas make you eligible to apply for the ILR after you have spent 5 continuous years in the UK. However, not all visas are valid for 5 years. Most business visas, for instance, need an extension after a given period of time and the approval of your extension is only valid in the case that your business is doing well. Moreover, work visas also allow you to obtain an ILR in the situation that you have reasonably contributed to the UK economy over the past years.
