Hello all
My question is about ILR(LR)
I had arrived to the UK on 19/10/2008 as a PhD student. I have always applied for visa renewals on time and none of my visa applications had been refused for any reason. During this time, I visited Libya twice, 2011 for two weeks and 2012 for one weeks. I visited Italy once, 2012 for one week (scientific conference). I have never been in troubles of any kind and my criminal record is clean. On 13/09/2014 I applied for asylum, I had been waiting for 3 years and six months till 18/02/2018 when my claim was accepted, and refugee status was granted for five years (till Feb/2023).
In October 2018, I had completed 10 years residency in the UK. I have been living in the UK lawfully for the whole 10 years except I had been waiting for my asylum claim for 3 years and six months before my claim was accepted. There had been no refusal during my asylum process. Nowadays, I am working as a self-employ since September 2018.
Can I apply for ILR(LR) or it is a complicated process and risky step that might affect my refugee status that I have now?
