Hi Everyone,
My boyfriend was granted his first discretionary leave on 22/07/2008. He applied for an extension on before his leave expired in June 2011. Home office afterwards sent him an application to fill in under humanitarian protection to settle indefinitely in UK. As seem it was confusing and later they respond that it was not the right application for him and asked to fill a new FLR application. This process took a long time with many letters exchanging between home office and MP. He submitted the 2nd FLR in Sep 2012, soon was granted the extension in Dec, 2012 until 2015.
As he has already lived in UK more than six years since he was first granted discretionary leave, we want to confirm can he apply for ILR now. We seek advice from few solicitors, all seem to be confusing us. One said it depends on the application he made for extension. We are very frustrated and tired of this matter now. My visa is expiring next year and we want to get married.
Is he eligible for his ILR application now considering he has lived 6 years of residency in UK under discretionary leave? Urgent respond would be appreciated.
Thank you.
