not sure what ilr is, but congrats sounds like something good!

ILR = Indefinite Leave to Remain

Next step (if wanted) would be Naturalisation (ie become British Citizen)

We actually had a friend who really did that, despite explaining it all. Crazy, no idea what happened in the end. It's a funny old world.
