Just an update- my Set LR application has been successful. Thank you so much admins for reassuring me and explaining rules. I was so worried because of the rules change in April 2023.

Hi emwrites did you get any response from the Home Offices regarding your ILR yet?

Thank you Zimba for clarifying it a bit further.
