I am due to make my next extension application in July, though of course preferably I would apply for ILR instead.
zimba, your quote above seems to be from this page: https://www.gov.uk/apply-indefinite-lea ... ligibility but it is written under the subheading 'children and young adults', which makes me think I need to be under 25?zimba wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 1:44 amTo summarise, if all the below is true then your ILR should succeed:
• you were first given a visa on the basis of your private life when you were aged between 18 and 24 and you met the half-life test
• you initially arrived in the UK as a child
• you have lived in the UK for at least 5 continuous years
Also, regarding PL 14.1.: An applicant who has, or last had, permission to stay on the private life route as a child, or young adult who met the half-life test under PL 4.1....
My 'last' permission was given when I was 28 so not because I was under 25 and passed the half-life test, but it was because I was PREVIOUSLY given permission as a young adult who passed the half-life test.
I am conflicted on the wording of PL 14.1. because it says 'LAST HAD' which feels very specific to the most recent grant of leave, rather than 'previously' which could encompass all the grant of leaves that came before.
