An application for settlement which is considered by caseworkers more than 28 days before the applicant completes the required qualifying period for long residence should be refused on the basis that they have not completed the required period of leave in the UK. If the application is considered 28 days or less before the 10/14 years is completed and the applicant meets all the other criteria, ILR may be granted.
