Discretionary Leave to Remain

[VT]

Can anybody tell me where i can find some good information about DL? My partner is expecting to be granted DL soon as we've heard from the HO telling us they require certain docs to finalise the decision. Can't find much explaining what DL actually means and what it entitles my partner to? i.e work!!

DL is granted outside the rules so there are no definitve set of rules! No have you said anything about the circumstances. Here is a link to the DL information on the UKBA site but it is by no means comprehensive.

Unfortunately, the current guidance is being updated and is therefore offline. Here is a link to a snapshot of the previous guidance taken in December 2010

I got given a 3 year DLR, you entitled to work, start you own business, travel in and out of the UK,claim benefits ( I would not adivise it tho) unless you have to.

At the end of 3 years you need to re-apply for another 3 years, before you can apply for ILR so (total of 6 years).

good Luck

Thank you for replying. Does it all depend on my partners circumstances then? To cut a long story short he is nigerian and came in 2000 his mum overstayed visas my partner was only 11 at the time. His mum was then traced at deported in 2008 but my partner moved on to another area in uk. We met late 2008 and have been in a relationship since and have one 19 month old together.

Thanks zebra3 I thought that was the route.

yes each case it own merit, do have a solicitor?

what documents did they request? when I had a letter from them back in Nov 2009 on the 4th requesting more documents for my self and my British Wife, 2 new photos and Method of entry questionnaire, my solicitor sent the lot back on 18th Nov they issued my visa on 23 Nov and sent to my solicitor Jann 26th 2010.

good luck

They just requested passport photo's recently but now they want his passport but he doesn't have one. Not sure whether he offer to apply for a nigerian or british one?! Yeah we've got a solicitor.

if he was eligible for a British passport then he wouldn't need to be applying for discretionary leave!

He should find out how long it will take for a Nigerian passport to be issued. If he can't provide the passport then if they are minded to grant him discretionary leave they may just do it on a separate immigration status document.

On what basis are you hoping to apply?? You have been here 6 years. Your child (born here?) has only been here for 1 year.... Based on the details provided, you won't be eligible for FLR (FP).

Tier 2?

Did u spend 20 years in UK?
Do u have child who spend 7 years in UK and not reasonable for child to go back?
R u aged between 18 and 25 and spend half of your life in UK?
Did u spend less than 20 years in UK and no ties what so ever back home?

I think u will say last point is applicable to u. This is HO trick to make people believe that they can apply on discretionary leave. But impossible to get visa on this base. They will say as u come in this country in 2009 6 years ago and when u arrived in UK u were 20 or 25 or 30 years old. So u spend that much time in your home country so u must have ties there.
They will refuse you straight away.

Now choice is yours.
