Think its 2yrs from arrival in UK but not 100% sure.....


thanks for your replies....
The qualifying period for ILR is 24 months living in UK
The earliest you may apply for ILR is 28days before the end of the 24 months qualifying period.

Before applying you will need to have a pass certificate for Life in UK test. I suggest studying this and taking the test as soon as you can. You can actually take this test as many times as is needed, but you must pass before applying for ILR.
