FLR(O) Discretionary Leave waiting times ..??

[Giveita100]

Hello everyone,

I have been a silent follower of this forum for a long time, and want to say congratulations to all those that have been successful with their application and to those who were refused, don't give up just yet.

My story is this, I have been married to my wife for 4 years now and we have 3 kids but only the last is ours together. I was granted discretionary leave to remain 2 years ago after just 6 weeks of from the day I applied because I had a 5 years visit visa and been coming here almost every year until after my marriage and decided to stay. My wife and kids are all British citizen

I have a full time job and we are not receiving any benefit apart from child benefit because I earn about 35,000 per year.

Our marriage has come to a stand still and we might be separated soon, nothing I can do about it, as I continue to try to keep us going.

I am due for DL extension in October next year, even though we may not be legally divorced by then, would it affect my application if we separated? I will have access to my kids and pay regular monthly maintenance for the kids.

I cannot afford to loose my job and thus the reason I need advice.

Has anyone been separated or divorced and tried to extend their DLR before?

Hi Givelta welcome to the forum. You have nothing to worry about it would be acstraight forward extention. Because u are on dlr it has nothing to do with Ur marriage fill the flr(ltd) form important to put Ur finances I.e payslips and bankstatement. All d best for next yr

Welcome to the forum!

Ah no! It is not that simple as one believes! The principle behind an extension of DLR is that there should not be great changes in the initial situations when the HO first granted 3 years. In the case of Giveita100, he was happily married with a child. Now he is getting divorce, and it looks like he is not going to be the main guardian of the child.
You need to talk an immigration advisor to see your chances of remaining legally in UK.

Good morning everybody. I hope you all had a nice weekend. As some of the bloggers have suggested about arguing your rights through the rules, I think it is very advisable to ask you solicitors if you could see what they are writing to argue about your case. Because some solicitors just write like just a page and that is not enough. They have been paid to do this for us ,so I think they should be put to work. I pray that this new week there will be a lot of visas granted in the forum. Have a blessed week.

@astro123, i concur with you on that, everyone should ask to see what their solicitor intends to submit on their behalf afterall, you have paid for it!

It appears Home Secretary is deliberately introducing Immigration Rules she knows to be unlawful to cause hardship to the people and also confusion in the legal cirlcles.
Because how on earth can you expect Even if an applicant can establish 20 years, he will only be granted an initial period of leave for 30 months and will not be entitled to indefinite leave to remain until he has accumulated 120 months’ of such leave. This creates a very long route to settlement under “Article 8”. - which means even if after being here illegally for 20 years using the long stay route, he or she will still be subjected to another 120 months (10 years) of temporary status before being given ILR. Oh my GOD!!!!

@ali90. I believe the relevant rules you are looking for have been posted elsewhere on this forum not too long ago but for your benefit, read part 7 in below link:

Hopefully that should answer your question!

Hi all
Although abolished post 9 July 2012. The 14 year rule can be argued in spirit successfully citing article 8. The 20 year rule plus waiting a further 10 years for full citizenship is just hogwash - i would be seriously surprised if it's applicable to anyone. Just tough talk from the tories as they know it doesnt really apply to anyone. Like i said i would be amazed!

@believe2013, unfortunately, the 120 months route is what will be issued to 20 years long stay until it is repealed.

Do not forget to mention the 72 months route for those granted before July 2012!

The 72 months route is by far better, at least they do have recourse to public fund which still gives them a sense of belonging. The new 120 months route is cruel which i see as 10 years of mondern slavery!

@nile any news? does reconsideration letter works? whats the next step?

[Muffin007]

Hello all

I have been following this forum for a while and need your help on an outstanding application .
I came here as a student in jan 2007 and carried on with my psw which expired august 2013.
I just gave birth to a British baby though I and the father are not together but due to the timing I had to send in my application without her British passport because it would be too late.I just sent it in last week Friday after just getting it,

I applied through a lawyer who claims he's very good at this kind of application but still worried.I applied on AUGUST 5 got my biometrics aug 20 but just did it on the 2nd of September ..

I was told to put a letter from my mum who has ILR that I'm staying with her and I'm depending on her also to take care of the baby with me as I do not have support from the father and was also told to send pictures of three of us

Just want to pls find out success rate of this kind of application ?

And also the father of the baby wants to claim the benefits for her in his name but my account would be the beneficiary and I also want to claim council house but I'm not sure if this would affect my outstanding application?

NB BABY. Was born July 21

Thank u

Any advice pls?
