Hello all , hope you’re well.

Please advise , my friend received this response from home office today by email .

Very stressful, can you please advise which is the correct application she should apply for as there are so much she is confused . Thank you all .



Thank you for your recent application for Settlement in the UK.

Your application has been made using a Settlement – Private Life application form for Indefinite Leave to Remain, which is considered in accordance with criteria laid out in Appendix Settlement Private Life which can be viewed at: Immigration Rules – Immigration Rules Appendix Private Life – Guidance – GOV.​UK (www.gov.uk)

However, your immigration history shows that you do not currently have permission or were last granted permission on the Private Life route. You were last granted LTR on 04 Nov 2022 on a Family life 10 year parent application.

As you do not hold any leave on the Private Life route, it is highly unlikely that your Settlement Private Life application would succeed and result in a grant of ILR.

This is in line with the validity requirements of Appendix Settlement Private Life which state: Validity requirements for settlement on the Private Life route.

PL 11.3. An applicant must have, or have last been granted, permission on the Private Life route, unless they are a child who was born in the UK.

PL 11.4. An application which does not meet all the validity requirements for settlement on the Private Life route is invalid and may be rejected and not considered. Accordingly, we would like to give you the opportunity to review your application. If after you have reviewed your application, you choose to submit a further application on another route, please advise us as soon as possible and this will be treated as a variation.

Please note, if you wish to vary (change) your application, you will need to submit the correct application for route you wish to apply for within 14 days 09/10/2025, pay the application fee, and resubmit your supporting documents.

If you choose not to have your Settlement application varied or do not reply within 14 days 09/10/2025 of the date of this email, your application may be rejected as invalid under the validity requirements above and will not be considered.

When you have a unique application number (UAN) for the new submitted application, please advise us by email at: livsetaahub@homeoffice.gov.uk
