Long residence settlement then citizenship granted in case with good character issues

The Challenges Faced

Mr G and their family needed to apply for indefinite leave to remain after 10 years of lawful residence in the UK. While their adult children’s applications were straightforward, Mr G and their spouse faced complications due to a previous conviction. This required extending their visas to move the conviction outside the 10-year refusal window before applying for settlement.

How Latitude Law Helped

Latitude Law submitted holding applications to extend Mr G and their spouse’s visas, then varied these to successful settlement applications. They subsequently assisted with citizenship applications.

The Outcome

The holding applications were successfully varied to secure indefinite leave to remain for Mr G and their spouse. Their citizenship applications were also granted, achieving a successful outcome for all family members.
