Paragraph 276B(i)(a) refers to the requirements for indefinite leave to remain. Accordingly this answer provides data on indefinite rather than limited leave to remain.<\/p>
Grants of indefinite leave to remain on the basis of long residence are published in settlement table se_03 , here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-april-to-june-2016/list-of-tables#settlement<\/a>The figures prior to July 2012 will also include grants on the basis of 14 years lawful and unlawful long residence. That provision was removed in July 2012.<\/p> The 20 year long residence rule was implemented from 9 July 2012. These grants of leave to remain are categorised as Private Life in the published statistics, available at tables ex_01 and ex_01q here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-april-to-june-2017/list-of-tables#extensions<\/a><\/p> The 20 year qualifying period in this category can also include periods of lawful leave, as well as illegal residence.<\/p>"}
