Guidance is based on asylum policy “Settlement Protection”. This guidance explains the circumstances in which the Home Office will consider an application for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) following a grant of refugee status and leave or humanitarian protection (HP). The Settlement Protection Asylum Instruction is published policy, and therefore publically available on GOV.UK:
