Under 17 years visa application for ILR

[freeman0410]

My friend move to London when he was 17 years old . Now he is living in London more than 7 years . Is there any immigration rules that he can apply for visa which allow him to stay in UK and help him to obtain ILR. We heard that if anyone came before 17 tears old and stay till 25 years , he/she can apply for ILR . Can any one answer ???

Nationality?
Any documents?
Any illegal working?
Overstayer?
Current immigration status?
Any particular reason not to return to home/mother country?

The provision for getting ILR by long residence has been significantly curtailed since 2012.

Your friend is not even eligible for FLR(FP) on that basis any more.

Section 276ADE(2) in part reads

(v) is aged 18 years or above and under 25 years and has spent at least half of his life living continuously
in the UK (discounting any period of imprisonment); or
(vi) subject to paragraph 276ADE(2), is aged 18 years or above, has lived continuously in the UK for less than 20 years (discounting any period of imprisonment) but there would be very significant obstacles to the
applicant’s integration into the country to which he would have to go if required to leave the UK.

Dear All Brothers ,
Please help with this situation

Come to this country under age of 18 and completed 7 years with in the immigration rules , is he eligible to apply 7 years child rules , detached from family , just visited once his country ( Bangladesh ) for 2 days .
What category he can apply ? Any suggestion or any competent solicitor to consult with about it ?
Currently on student visa studied in university but the university is suspended and his visa will expired on April .

is he eligible to apply 7 years child rules

No, because he is NOT a child (i.e. under 18 years old etc).

How old was he when he came to the UK?

There appear to be few options.
