Public Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

The financial requirement appears to be satisfied however there are separate requirements concerning accommodation and overcrowding. The first factor you would need to consider is how many rooms the property has in comparison to the number of people living there. The guidance is specific and we suggest you book an initial consultation for us to advise you on the specific requirements. For more information, please call 02039599123 or click here

Rakesh Patel at OTS Solicitors handled my ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) application via the Ancestry route. My case had some complications, but Rakesh was thorough, responsive, and reassuring throughout the entire process. He prepared a strong application, kept me informed at every stage, and the whole matter was resolved quickly — I received my ILR within one working day of my biometrics appointment. I'd highly recommend Rakesh and OTS Solicitors to anyone needing immigration advice. Five stars well deserved. Samuel Case Workers: Rakesh Patel
