It's unfortunate that the attention of these MPs have been shifted elsewhere for now cos they just all got back from holiday yesterday to vote on this Invading Syria or not today. I guess we will see how active they become over the course of this September which is on Sunday. I pray we all hear some news before the date given by your MP in Jesus Name (Amen).

Important new case – policy of granting 3 years DLR to children ruled unlawful by High Court!

On 8 May 2013 the Administrative Court, through Holman J gave judgment in the case of R on the application of SM and TM v SSHD [2013] EWHC 1144 (Admin), a case that the Claimants won and which is, in my view, of enormous importance, as a direct access immigration barrister who represents a large number of clients with children the case is good news and its importance cannot be overstated.

The challenge was to the SSHD’s policy of granting minors (and adults) 3 years Discretionary Leave to Remain (“DLR”) instead of Indefinite Leave to Remain (“ILR”), a policy that in any event was replaced on 9 July 2012 by the evening more restrictive grant of only 30 months leave.

It was argued that a policy that left children in a state of uncertainty was in breach of the Secretary of State’s obligations under Section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009. The Judge, Holman J, in a clear and well reasoned decision agreed and ruled the policy unlawful. Importantly he also gave a clear indication that the new policy of only granting 30 months leave to remain was also susceptible to challenge.

This case has wide ranging consequences for anyone who has or has had the child(ren) been granted either 3 years DLR or 30 months DLR.

Hello all,

Can anyone help me with this query please......

Do you need to meet the english language requirement for a fresh (not an extension of stay) UK FLRO - Private and Family Life application.

Do you hold any higher education certification obtained in this country? If yes then NO, or if you are from the countries below - no need to meet English language requirement

Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, ,Grenada, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, New Zealand, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, the USA

My partner does not qualify for an exemption and no valid ID at the moment hence the FLRO application. It appears on the FLRO guidance that the english language requirement is only for those applying for an extension of stay after expiry of initial stay.

Please is there anyone that submitted application on or after July 2012 that included evidence of english language requirements???

Good evening all,

Very useful thanks Hatchsead

@Khaldoon , I think that's one for the caseworkers. I suspect to tinker with the backlog figures they somehow stupidly used a system called LIFO last in first out as opposed to good old fashioned FIFO first in first out.

Hi yummymummy3j, thanks for your undying support, prayers and encouragement.

Johnny it clearly states it's a requirement on the form, there is no way round it unfortunately. P20 of the form states
From 9 July 2012, a person who applies to enter or remain in the UK as a parent, unless they are exempt from the
requirement, are required to show that they can speak and understand English. If you are not a national of a majority
English-speaking country (see note 1 below) you will need to pass an acceptable English language test with the
test provider approved by the UK Border Agency for this purpose (see Note 3 below), or to produce specified evidence
that you have an academic qualification which is deemed to meet the recognised standard of a Bachelor’s
degree in the UK
Your wife will be exempt if she suffers from a mental or physical condition which bars her from taking the exam. she will have to be certified by a doctor.[/b]
