who loyally served the UK, along with their dependants; and around 500 special cases
of particularly vulnerable Afghans, including Chevening scholars, journalists, human

arrived and are moving onto the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme will also be given
ILR; we are working through individuals on a case by case basis.</p>
