Happy new year, my family and I are overstayers. We came to the uk in 2002 and we received DLR in 2011, ILR in 2017. We are due to apply for Naturalisation this April 2021 as that will be when the 10 year ban for good character ends due to the overstaying. My question is does anyone have any idea wh...

Hi im still confused about when the 10 years ban starts, the day you receive dlr or the day you became known to HO, also has anyone bern successful acquiring citizenship after dlr despire good character?

Hi ya

Just wondering if there is anyone out there who has been a previous over stayer or had 6 years dlr and been granted naturalisation through discretion despite not meeting good character requirements.

6 months bank statements I think 1 year payslips I didn't have last April and march though as I had lost them but it seemed fine, and I took any p60s I could find i think one or two. My documents weren't great but dlr was given to me on family life so I took tenancy agreement with all of us on it, b...

Yes I was asked at the biometrics booth if all my files were photocopies I said yes, they took all photocopies no originals. I paid the old fees because I booked before the fee changed so I think it was 2375 previously Yes printed all pages but only filled in what was applicable to me Not really it ...

I don't think there are set documents required for 6 years dlr to ILR. But you have to show life in the UK and ties, also you should show that the basis dlr was granted in the first place still persists so family life, no convictions etc. However if you look around the forum people who have successf...

From what I've read it starts from the first day of your EEA residency since that when you acquired legal
Status

Oh ok thanks for replying

The first time we ever replied must have been in 2006. We kept getting rejected through the years until 2011 when we got 6 years dlr

Hi guys I got my ILR on Friday after 6 years discretionary leave which was granted in 2011. I think I first applied for ILR in 2005 or 2006 and got subsequently rejected any times until 2011 when I was given dlr. my question is will my 10 years ban start from 2005/2006 when I first applied and got r...

Yes we got there quite early did airport style screenings. Then we went upstairs for ticket (they wouldn't give you a ticket if you are more than 15 mins early for you appointment so we had to wait around) . My appointment was at 10:50, I got my ticket at around 10:45, I got called my number about 1...

Hi ya just want to say thank you to everyone for answering questions especially there moderators. I visited peo today and got ILR after 6 years dlr. I didn't have to do life in the uk test I think under the old rules. and applied two months before my dlr expired.

Hi ya do you have to take life in the uk test if you're on 6 years dlr on route to getting ILR? Please help

Hi ya is it still true that those with 6 years DLR are exempt from
Taking the life in the U.K. Test or has the requirement changed? I can't find the information on the gov uk website

Thanks

Hi My family and I applied for previous leave to remain under my mum and we the children as her dependents however it's time to apply for ILR after 6 years dlr and we are all older than 21years (23,26 and 27years) so no more child dependents. We are booking for the premium online now and want to kno...

Hi what documents did you submit? Were you asked any questions at the peo?

Great thank you

Hi for those that applied for 6 years dlr, when booking the peo on the government website, did you choose the link 'all other applications' or "Remain in the UK with family - applying in the partner, family life as a partner or private life in the UK routes"??

Thank you CR001

Hi what documents did you submit to support your application for family life? I'm also applying by family life and on discretionary leave to remain

Have you received ILR after completing dlr then?

Would you please update this thread on the outcome of your application

WHat route did you apply through?

This is confusing! Shouldn't yo have qualified for ILR if you have been on dlr since 2010. Therefore, making it 6 years? Hopefullly the seniors and more experienced can shed some light on this.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Does that mean we do not have to wait till July 2017? We can apply in April 2027 instead? Even though the expiry date on biometric is july 2017?

Hi guys I have searched through the posts but keep finding conflicting information. For 6 years DLR do you start counting the 6 years from the first date of initial grant or when your last brp expires? E.g. My family were granted dlr in April 2011 to May 2014 and extension from may 2014 to July 2017...
