Our Work | Private Life

We are acknowledged by the Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession for our expertise on Human Rights issues.

You may be able to make an application to remain in the UK on the basis of your family and private life. You may be allowed to stay in the UK if:

• You are less than 18 years old and have lived in the UK for at least 7 years and it is not reasonable to expect you to leave the UK. If you were born in the UK and have lived here for at least 7 years, under recent changes to the Immigration Rules you may now apply directly for indefinite leave to remain (‘ILR’).
• You are a young person between 18 and 25 years old and have lived in the UK for more than half of your life.
• You are more than 18 years old and have lived in the UK continuously for more than 20 years.
• You are more than 18 years old and there are very significant obstacles to returning to your country of origin.

These applications can be complex and difficult to evidence. We regularly assist clients with private life applications and can advise and assist you to make the strongest application possible.
