You can apply for leave to remain or Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) on the basis of the private life you have established in the UK. The Private Life route is for a person seeking permission to stay in the UK on the basis that they have developed a Private Life in the UK. An application for leave to remain or Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) on the basis of private life established in the UK is made in accordance with the requirements as set out in Appendix Private Life of the Immigration Rules. The Private Life route is a route to settlement.

A child born in the UK who has lived in the UK for 7 years continuously can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) instead of limited leave to remain.

Alternative routes may be available to those considering the Private Life route. For example, a person may be able to qualify for immediate Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) on the basis of 10 years Long Residence in the UK.
