Discretionary Leave to Remain- Outside the Immigration Rules

Even though various changes were made in the immigration rules and it is often called a complete code in the vast area of UK immigration we often come across cases where rules do not provide a remedy.

In such cases, if the circumstances warrant a grant of limited leave to remain, the Secretary of State may consider the case for granting a discretionary leave.

If you believe that you should be or should have been granted leave outside the rules, you should arrange a consultation with our specialist immigration solicitor for assessment.

Our specialist solicitor will provide you with tailored advice based on the information we receive from you. We mainly deal with immigration matters on a fixed fee basis for transparency. In order to confirm your eligibility and avail free “No obligation Assessment”, please contact us on 0208 124 3222.

What is Discretionary leave to remain?

Discretionary Leave to Remain is permission given by the UK government to immigrants who have been here for a while and want to remain in the country. This permission can be granted if the immigrant has served or worked in some institutions, organizations, or businesses of exceptional importance and value to the economy and/or society. Discretionary Leave to remain uk is a kind of immigration status that the Home Office (HO) can grant to non-European Economic Area (EEA) nationals who are here unlawfully. Discretionary leave under the Immigration Rules may be granted in exceptional circumstances if the HO believes that it would not be unreasonable to allow the individual to stay in Britain and there are very good reasons for doing so.

 

Discretionary Leave to Remain application

The Discretionary Leave to Remain application is a type of visa for non-EU family members of an EU citizen who are awaiting an application for a Residence Card. It is issued to the non-EU family member, who can travel to Ireland with this visa and work or study here.

The main difference between the standard Residence Card and the Discretionary Leave to Remain application is that the latter will normally be issued while the person is still outside of the State.

The UK provides six-month discretionary leave to remain which may be granted to a foreign national who can prove that he/she is in genuine and continuing need of protection and that it would not be reasonable to expect them to relocate abroad. It is the most frequently granted type of asylum application, but many applicants are unaware of how to apply properly for it.

 

Discretionary Leave to Remain Extension

Discretionary Leave to Remain Extension is a visa status that gives individuals the chance to apply for another extension beyond the initial leave granted to them. It is a very useful visa and gives people more time in the UK, but it can be hard to come by.

If you are an EEA national then you have the right to live and work in the UK without restriction (with a few exceptions). If you're not an EEA national then you need to obtain a visa if you want to stay longer than 6 months.

In circumstances where individuals have overstayed in the UK, they may be able to apply for a Discretionary Leave to Remain Extension. The Discretionary Leave to Remain extension will give you an additional 28 days within the UK, and if you are eligible, you may be granted an extension of up to 150 days. This means that you could stay in the UK for up to 210 days.

 

Who can Grant Discretionary Leave to Remain?

The Secretary of State has the discretion to grant a leave to remain outside the immigration rules but, post-July 2012, it is sparingly used and mainly in cases raising compelling and exceptional circumstances or involving the best interest of children.

Often a failed asylum seeker is granted a discretionary leave if he/she is a victim of human trafficking or there are other exceptional circumstances justifying such leave.

 

Grounds for Discretionary Leave to Remain

  • While granting the Discretionary Leave to Remain, Home Office considers the best interest of the children who are living in the UK
  • Children coming to the UK are granted Discretionary Leave to Remain till they attain the age of 17
  • Discretionary Leave to Remain can also be granted on “Medical Grounds”
  • Exceptional Circumstances may also lead to the grant of Discretionary Leave to Remain 

 

Can You Seek Extension

It is possible to seek an extension for Discretionary Leave to Remain. This kind of extension is normally granted if no change has been monitored in the circumstances of the person who has availed such a grant, previously.

 

How we can help

We have various successful cases where not only the Secretary of State, even the immigration judge allowed appeals outside the immigration rules on a human rights basis.

In a recent appeal, one of our clients who were present in the UK on limited leave as the father of his British child (from the previous relationship) wanted to sponsor his present wife from abroad.

The immigration rules are silent in this case and as expected his application was refused. However, the Immigration Judge did understand the exceptionality and allowed appeal outside the immigration rules, under human rights.

If you are stuck in an exceptional situation, we will be more than happy to advise and assist at an affordable fee.
