Long Residency covers a route to settlement for people who have built up a long period of lawful residence in the United Kingdom. A solicitor in this area helps clients gather and present evidence of their residence, absences and integration, and to pursue a form of indefinite status such as Indefinite Leave to Remain or equivalent settled status where applicable. They advise on eligibility, prepare the required applications, assemble documentation from employers, landlords, educational institutions and the Home Office, and respond to any refusals or extensions as needed. The work is shaped by residence thresholds, documentation standards and the policy framework set by the Home Office.

Syed Naqvi
Partner
“We had the privilege of working with Syed Naqvi on my dad's 20-year route case, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Syed is not only a highly knowledgeable solicitor but also an incredibly kind and polite individual. Over the past two decades, we had not encountered anyone like him. Syed took the time to thoroughly understand our case, carefully explained every detail, and provided us with clear, tailored advice. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to secure the visa even before the 20-year requirement was completed, which was beyond our expectations. His ability to navigate complex legal matters while remaining approachable and supportive is truly exceptional. If you’re looking for a solicitor who combines professionalism with genuine care, Syed Naqvi is the person to trust. We are deeply grateful for his guidance and support.”

“I approached the firm for help with my Skilled Worker visa application, and from the very first consultation, Kerry and Lani made me feel reassured. He took the time to understand my situation in detail and explained the entire immigration process in a way that was easy to follow. What stood out was the level of care and attention given to my case – nothing felt rushed or generic. Throughout the application, I received regular updates, and every document was carefully checked before submission. Thanks to their expertise as a trusted immigration law firm in London, my visa was approved without any complications. I would confidently recommend their immigration services to anyone looking for reliable and professional legal support.”
