1.We do not publish this specific data around average waiting times, the pub-lished statistics relating to individuals granted Indefinite Leave to Remain in the United Kingdom are recorded together as part of published Migration Sta-tistics and can be located via the link:

2.There is no minimum time to determine an application for Indefinite Leave to Remain, however each case type is covered by a maximum waiting time if the case is considered straightforward. If a case is not straightforward we contact the customer by a set point within the process, details of these times can be found via the link:
