The "particularly exceptional or compelling reasons" for DLR generally related to children, a number of cases eventually lead to children being settled after 3 years DLR.Page 16 wrote:Applicants granted Discretionary Leave before 9 July 2012
Those who, before 9 July 2012, have been granted leave under the DL policy in force at the
time will normally continue to be dealt with under that policy through to settlement if they
qualify for it (normally after accruing 6 years continuous DL). Further leave applications
from those granted up to 3 years DL before 9 July 2012 are subject to an active review.

that may warrant departure from the standard period of leave. See section 4.4 above.
What are the chances of our situation being considered as "compelling grounds" ?page 9 wrote:4.4 Non-standard grant periods: Longer periods of stay
There may be cases where a longer period of leave is considered appropriate, either
because it is clearly in the best interests of a child, (and any countervailing considerations do
not outweigh those best interests), or because there are other particularly exceptional or
compelling reasons to grant leave for a longer period or (ILR).
In your experience, is it worth us persuing this, or would we be better off just asking for another three years DLR before seeking settlement?Immigration_Rules_-_Appendix_FM. wrote: Section EX: Exception
