Settlement after refugee status or humanitarian protection

Advice on applying for indefinite leave to remain after a grant of protection status.

Reviewing your protection history

We review your grant of permission to stay as a refugee or as a person with humanitarian protection and advise whether an application for settlement is available in your circumstances. We consider the date and basis of your grant and any changes in your immigration history.

Preparing for settlement

We identify the documents that may be needed to show your identity, immigration permission and residence. Where you have dependants, we can also review their current permission and advise on the applications available to them.
