We have contacted all of those from the 2021/22 cohort who came to the UK as part of Op Pitting, and registered their applications for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) onto HO systems.

This means that they have continuing permission to be in the UK, and their ILR applications will be processed by April 2022. Any 2021/22 Chevening Scholars who were already in the UK have ongoing permission to be here.
