ILR Wizard · v1Free · No call · No spam

Which UK settlement (ILR) route fits your situation?

Answer eight plain-English questions. We’ll tell you which ILR route looks most relevant for your circumstances, with the rule reference, and whatever you should think about next. No call follows automatically — we only contact you if you specifically ask us to email the result.

This wizard is a guide to which ILR route may apply, not legal advice and not a prediction of outcome. Home Office decisions turn on the full evidence of your case. Reviewed by Imran Shah — SRA #509359 · admitted 2012 · verify on SRA register. Last reviewed: May 2026.

Have you switched between visa categories in the last 5 years?

E.g. moved from student visa to skilled worker, or from spouse visa to work visa. We ask because continuous-residence rules differ by route.

Why we built this

Plain-English routing. No sales call. No spam.

Most people landing on an ILR page already know they need help — they don’t know which route applies to their specific situation. The official UK government guidance at gov.uk/indefinite-leave-to-remain is comprehensive but doesn’t flag the practical considerations that decide most cases (absences clocks, continuous-residence breaks, suitability rules, category-switch consequences).

This wizard is eight plain-English questions written by Imran Shah (Immigration & Litigation Solicitor, SRA #509359, admitted 2012) and reviewed against the current Immigration Rules. The output is a route name, the relevant rule reference, and what you should think about next — not a prediction of whether you will succeed.

It is free, anonymous until you ask us to follow up by email, and there is no automatic call. If you want to book a free 30-minute consultation, that’s a separate decision you make at the end.

What this wizard isn’t

  • It’s not legal advice. A solicitor reviewing the full evidence will give you a proper assessment.
  • It’s not a prediction of approval. Outcomes depend on your evidence, the case officer, and case-specific facts the wizard can’t see.
  • Where the answers reach a complex fact pattern (switched visa categories, serious suitability questions, or any “not sure”), the wizard routes to a solicitor consultation instead of guessing.
