APPLICATION FOR INDEFINATE LEAVE TO REMAIN (SETTLEMENT)
My name is xxxxx. My date of birth is xxxxx.My wife's name is xxxxx. Her date of birth is xxxxx. We both leave at the above address.
I was granted Discretionary Leave to Remain in 2004 for two years. This expired in March 2006 and I applied for an extension which was granted for another two years (till March 2008).This was further renewed till 8th march 2010. I would therefore have been on Discretionary Leave for six years when my current leave expires in March 2010.

I am applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement), as I have family established here in the UK. My wife is a British citizen and we have two children who are both British citizens.
We have been married since1999. We intend to stay together as a married couple and will therefore be grateful if you could grant me Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement).

I have enclosed various documents to support my application, including the Life in the UK test certificate. Please also find enclosed the passports for my wife and children.

Many thanks for your co-operation.


Yours truly,
