I got DLR in July 2012 and extended for next 3 years on Dec 15 and my ILR due in Dec 18 (will apply one month before). I came in this country with my family wife and two sons on visit visa. Applied political asylum which was refused and after 3-1/2 years got DLR (6 years route) in 2012.
My actual point is that my son got married in Aug 2015 and live together since with my daughter in law (she is due for baby in Jun 2017), she came as student (her visa will expire in OCT 2017). My son doing job with £17000/- annual salary and my daughter in law got part time job (20 hours) annual approx £7500/-, I need advise can we apply her visa on spouse category or 3 years DLR, and I already mentioned that her visa will expire in Oct 17, so when we will apply for that or one month before on expiry of her visa. I also let you know that my son and daughter in law already registered their marriage in city council after approval of home office letter which was sent by city council for approval.
Your kind help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
This isn't relevant to the thread title '
ILR after Discretionary Leave'. It's also unfair to tag onto another member's thread and causes confusion.
Please open you own thread and post your question there.

Yes, Cobraxs you can indeed apply in Feb 2018, It's pretty much straightforward. You become eligible for Indefinite Leave to Remain at the 6yrs point of DL. That is precisely what I did. I renewed my discretionary leave for the second time and it took over a year for the Home Office to make their decision. It arrived 5wks(July 2016) before I completed my 6yrs (August 2016) and was issued from 2016 to 2019 but I became eligible for ILR in August 2016 so I sent it back to them 5wks after I received it I am now waiting to hear back from them.Payment was taken 2 days after it was received and some of the document I sent with my application has already been sent back, so it's just a matter of time before they reach a decision.

You were granted leave outside the rules on the basis of the rules in place before 9th July 2012. You will qualify for ILR after 6 years. Your wife will qualify under Set Protection after her 5 years elapse.
I am 100% that your lawyer is wrong, and that your ILR will be refused.
I don't think your lawyer knows what he is doing.
hi obie u guys was right my wife got her ilr and i got mine refused so i am planing to apply again in feb2018 which is 6 years from the date of my initial grant. hopefully i will get it by then.

Hi All,
I will appreciate your advice regarding my situation and the info given by the solicitor that helped me in applying for my DL on both occasions which is very contrary to the advice and info on this platform.
Initial DL for 3yrs was granted in MAY 2011 (family life route), and the second which was made within time was granted in JUNE 2014 and will expire 10 JUNE 2017.
I rang the solicitor to ask for his help in checking my SET(O) form when the time to apply for my ILR is due (which will be towards the middle of April 2017 with the 28 days concession) and was informed that I will not be able to apply via PEO same day service for my ILR but he will have to do a postal application for me. When I asked him why, he said I cant do PEO with the kind of leave that I have (DL) and the HO will take the money from me online and when the date for the PEO arrives, I will be informed that its not possible to do the same day service via DL and will be given a partial refund of my payment with the application rejected.......please is this the case now?
Will I be able to apply for same day service PEO for my ILR or has the rules changed regarding this?
I will appreciate all your advice and guidance regarding my situation as I am very worried now.
P S. He said the HO takes an average of six(6) months to deal with ILR applications.

Much appreciated @ CR001.......I've previously read the case in the link hence, I decided to ask for advice as I'm in such a similar situation.
But it makes me really afraid and wonder why he would give me such info, knowing fully well how straight forward my case is.
Should I take it that I can apply for PSC online for my ILR when the time comes, or should I call the HO helpline to confirm bearing in mind I can be given ten different answers by ten different people each time I call the helpline.
I'm honestly sorry for bothering you.

Apart from the HO 'helpline' giving you ten different answers, you'll also have to pay the premium call rate 10 times. Save your money

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 know if we have to book separately or if we have to book together since we are still dependents living together?
Thanks
