As part of Operation Warm Welcome, ARAP applicants in the UK are entitled to Indefinite Leave to Remain.

The Home Office is contacting those here in the UK in order to assist them to register their Indefinite Leave to Remain status.

No one will be required to leave the United Kingdom, or be disadvantaged in any way, while we work through their cases.
