6yrs of discretionary leave

[Janet#74]

Dear members

I was granted my first discretionary leave on the 18/07/2012.The second one on the 18/02/16 expiring on the 17/02/19.
My question is when can l apply for indefinite leave?Can l do premium service?I was granted after failed asylum which was logged in 2008. I am really confused as not sure what to do as l am completing my 6 years on the 17/07/18.
Thank you

Hi,

If you refer to your documentation, does it specifically state that you may apply for ILR after 6 years of DL?

If so then indeed your 6 years will complete on 18/7/2018 (you may apply 28 days before or within that date of completing your 6 years of DL).

Your 6 years are counted from the initial grant date of your first DLR, and anytime spent waiting for a further grant of DLR and so as long it was an intime application, that waiting period will count towards the accruing time of 6 years of DLR.

Just for further help, you can have a read in these threads of different members who where also granted ILR on the same route, 6 years DLR to ILR, they too were also granted DLR after a failed asylum application.

They also used form SET(O) & the premium appointment and where successful.

Also click this link to have a read at those members threads and hopefully you will get a good idea of documents they used in their application for ILR after 6 years DLR.

If you have anymore questions please ask here and I will try my best to respond appropriately.

Hie CMOSUK

Thank you for taking your time to respond to my questions.
Unfortunately on the letters its not mentioned that l qualify for indefinite leave after accruing 6yrs of Discretionary.What does this mean then?

It should state you would be eligible to apply for settlement after completing 6 years DLR.

Again this would apply to those that where granted before 9 July 2012, those after this may be on the 10 year route, though I don't think they where granted DLR but a form of leave to remain under the appendix FM route.

As your grant was after 9 july 2012, it may be you have to complete 10 years to be eligible for an application of ILR.

Hie CMOSUK
Hie again and thank you for your reply.I am bit confused about whether l have to complete 10 years or 6 years to qualify for indefinite leave.My application was made before July 9th 2012 though it was granted after that date as well;My question is if it was 10 years was is not supposed to be 2.5 yrs.I am also in receipt of Child tax credit/benefit as well.
I am really confused.I don’t want to risk and loose a lot of money if my application is not successful as well.
If anyone has an idea please help me.
Thank you

Do you have the '' no recourse to public funds'' written on your brp card or anywhere in your documents?

[Janet#74]

No I don’t have No recourse to public funds.

I was looking on the home office website.For settlement under Discretionary leave eligibility;6 years for those that applied on or before 8/7/2012 and 10 years for those that applied after that date.
Does this mean I qualify after accruing the six year because my application was made before that date?
Hoping to get a clear clarification on this one.
Thank you

Again, you will need to refer to your documentation, but if it was applied before the 9 July 2012 it could be the that the rules that were in place before the Immigration changes may apply to you, although you may have been granted after this date.

[Janet#74]

Thank you CMOSUK For again taking your time to my questions.I do appreciate your support.
I am also thinking that I fall under the old rules since I was given 3yrs discretionary at a time not the 2.5 years one.
I will try to do the premium service once l accrue the 6 years in July.
I will post back on the forum my experience and the outcome.Having read the information on their website about eligibility,I am sure I qualify for indefinite and I fall under the old policy and transitional arrangements.
I would be happy to hear also from anyone for any advice about my situation.
Thank you

[Janet#74]

I just thought I would add some more information just to be clear on my case.
As l mentioned that I logged asylum cIaim in July 2008.I was refused went to tribunal and refused again.
In 2009 I went to Manchester after being referred to a lawyer there though the firm is not operating anymore.They made another application and my correspondence was coming the Legacy team.
I got a letter in May 2012 asking for my photos.It mentioned they are looking in my unresolved asylum claim.Then in August I received my documents through the lawyers office.
At that time my first son was only 5yrs.Though he was entitled to a British passport on birth because his dad had indefinite,We failed to get him a passport until 2013 when I had my discretionary leave.So in another words I have British child not together with the Dad but I stay with him.
I hope and pray that I will not have to wait another 4years to get indefinite.It has been a very long journey to be honest and l feeI exhausted by this immigration issue.
Thank you

Good morning all

Hie I am again with a few questions.Hopefully someone can can help me.
I went to see a solicitor for advice.She told me l am eligible to apply for Indefinite leave and I should do premium.I cannot afford her fees so l am going to do it independently.
Please tell me if I need to photocopy every page of my dependents passports even though they are not applying.
What is needed to support my application from the Discretionary leave policy?
If there is more information please kindly give me links so l can download as l am preparing for my application.
Thank you
