All applications for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK are submitted to, and decided by, the Home Office. The Ministry of Defence does not therefore hold information about the number of applications submitted by or granted to Serving personnel and their dependants; the length of Service at the point of application; or the fee paid.
