ILR eligibility

[Asulum123]

Hi everyone,
I was overstayer and applied asylum in January 2019. After 3.5 years I was granted 5 years refugee leave to remain. During this 3.5 years period I kept chasing home office about prolonged delay and they wrote to my MP that. “

Please be assured that we will take into account the length of time since Mr X claimed asylum and any changes to his personal circumstances during the period until his claim is determined.
We will write to Mr X to inform him of a date when he will be interviewed as soon as possible. A decision on Mr X asylum claim will be made soon after the interview. Now my ILR is due in June 2027 but I am worried that new policy they putting asylum seekers on 20 years route. I am wondering if I can apply early mentioning home office promising letter. I am in uk since 2011 and and became overstayer in 2017 due to circumstances. Never left uk. Now worried of new 20 years rule. Can someone guide me here, thanks

When did you get your refugee leave to remain ?

As you said, you are not eligible for ILR until next year and as the rules stand. We cannot tell you what to expect if the rules change. The fact that you have lived here since 2011 is irrelevant, as getting ILR almost always requires continuous and lawful residence

I understand but during 3.5 years waiting period when my MP inquired reason for delay they specifically said that“ Please be assured that we will take into account the length of time since Mr X claimed asylum. Does that not seem promising?

Probably they were talking about trying to get you a decision faster (as you waited a long time) but they were not promising you an earlier ILR (that is not possible) You need to meet the requirements under the rules to get ILR.
