answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2022 answer text <p>Those who meet all eligibility and specified evidential requirements of the Family Immigration Rules, will be granted on a five-year route to settlement (granted in two periods of 30 months, with a third application for indefinite leave to remain). Those who cannot or do not meet these requirements, or seek to rely on their private life, will instead have a longer route to settlement: 10 years (granted in four periods of 30 months, with a fifth application for indefinite leave to remain). This reflects our obligations under Article 8 of the ECHR.</p><p> </p><p>A person who is on a 5-year route must meet all of the suitability, eligibility and evidential requirements at every application stage, to stay on this route. If they do not, they may be granted on a different basis, including on a longer 10-year route. Where this is the case, they may shorten the time in the UK before they are eligible to apply for indefinite leave to remain, by starting the 5-year route again when the requirements of those Rules are met.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 24/05/2022 09:19:19 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster previous answer version 2231 answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
