What is the Work & Skilled Worker ILR Route?
The Work & Skilled Worker Route allows eligible migrants to secure permanent settlement in the United Kingdom after completing the required period of lawful residence.
Applicants under the Skilled Worker and qualifying work routes may apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain once they satisfy the Home Office settlement requirements relating to residence, sponsorship, salary and immigration compliance.
ILR removes immigration time restrictions and provides the right to live, work and study in the UK without further visa renewals.
Legate Hub provides professional immigration assistance including eligibility assessments, absence calculations, employer coordination and complete application management.
