If you are applying to settle in the UK, you will need to pay the Indefinite Leave to Remain fee. You may also need to satisfy a minimum income requirement. We look at eligibility for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) as well as the ILR fee and other financial matters.
At Halliday Reeves, we are immigration experts. We deal solely with this complex area of law and have prepared many successful ILR applications for clients. We hold the Law Society’s accreditation for Immigration and Asylum law at both senior caseworker and senior supervising casework level. This recognises our legal expertise and the high standards of representation and advice we provide as well as our excellent client service.
We have held a Legal Aid contract since 1994. As part of this, we are peer reviewed regularly. Our most recent independent peer review report awarded us the high rating of ‘Competence

Success-Indefinite Leave to remain as a Partner
“From the first telephone conversation you were very helpful and honest I found the whole process stress free very pleased with the outcome which was far more than I had hoped for. I would recommend your services to friends and family if they ever have immigration problems in the future. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.”
Applying For Indefinite Leave To Remain
There are several routes to ILR, and your eligibility will depend on how long you have been in the UK and on what basis this is.
If you hold a UK work visa, you can usually apply for ILR after five years.
You may also be able to apply for ILR if you have a partner, parent, child or other relative who is settled in the UK and you have a visa yourself.
Indefinite Leave To Remain Application Process
When you apply for ILR, you will need to pay an application fee. UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) aims to provide a decision within six months. During this time, you may not leave the UK, Ireland, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man, or your application will be withdrawn.
In some cases, you can pay extra to fast-track your application. If the priority service is available, this should provide you with a decision within five working days. If you are making a family application from outside of the UK, it will be up to 30 working days. The priority service may come at an additional cost.
A super priority service may also be available. Once you have uploaded all of the necessary information and attended an appointment to prove your identity, UKVI will aim to give you a decision by the end of the next working day after your appointment or two working days after your appointment if it is at the weekend or on a bank holiday.
