Whether you will grant Indefinite Leave To Remains (ILR) after 5 years of staying in the UK ?

BNO visa was issued on January 2021. That means around January or February 2025, some of the BNO HongKongers are going to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remains (ILR). If you check UK government website,  you must know the requirements.

 I summarize again here:

 You can apply for settlement if you have a BNO visa and you’ve spent 5 continuous years in the UK..2. Knowledge of language and life in the UK.

In fact, after the introductions of BNO visa, some of HK people in the UK have changed from existing UK visa to BNO visa. There are some cases recently, you can see from Facebok Groups for HongKongers, when they submitted ILRs after 5 years, Home Office  rejected their IRLs but offered 3 years of BNO visa again. 

These HongKongers know ILRs requirements, like you know as well, as we all check from gov.uk website. Sure they met all ILRs requirements and submitted for applications.  If they didn't meet ILRs requirements, before 5 years visa period, for example, they didn't pass English test, either they would plan to leave the UK or apply for extension BNO visa.
