IRL ELIGIBILITY
AND TIMELINE
Indefinite Leave to Remain Solicitor Bolton: ILR Eligibility and Timeline
There are different routes to ILR depending on the visa you are on, such as work, family, or long residence. Most routes require you to have lived in the UK for a certain number of years, meet the English language requirements, and pass the Life in the UK test.
Many people make the mistake of applying too early or not understanding exactly what evidence is needed, which can lead to delays or refusals.
That’s where an ILR solicitor in Bolton can help.
A good solicitor will look at your situation, check if you meet all the rules, and explain the timeline clearly so you know when it’s right to apply.
They help organise your documents, check your continuous residence, and make sure your application has everything the Home Office expects to see. If there are any issues in your history, such as travel gaps or previous refusals, they can advise on how to address them.
Having an experienced solicitor by your side gives you confidence that you are applying at the right time and with the strongest possible submission, reducing stress and improving your chances of success. Whether you are close to qualifying or just planning ahead, getting help early makes the whole ILR process easier to handle.
