Hi, pls can anyone tell me whether it's plausible to be given a LR on the basis of having had 2 kids born in this country to a non British parents. Plus one of the kids has been diagnosed with a disability. Current status is a student which has just expired and has since applied for a LR with supporting documents. Kids ages are 7 and 4 yrs. Submitted in march, got a reference a few days after and still waiting to hear a decision. I was wondering maybe discretion would be applied or not. Or has anyone known anyone else who's been granted one? Pls any suggestions that would help this case will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks.

Highly unlikely not so say impossible.

Well as no one in the case is British or holds any form of PR or even has valid leave I can't see any grounds for them to be granted LTR at all, can you?

Yes, none of the parties have a right to live in UK as such, so its tuff. No one can rule what the exact outcome will be, but the chances are slim, to say the least.

Thanks.

both my friend and her partner are not British, there have been here for about 8yrs on student visas. they have a 6 yr old autistic child. they applied for discretion leave and have recently been granted 3yrs leave outside immigration rules. they did investigate their lives including communicating with teachers from autistic son's school.
All i am saying is, from the sound of things, you have nothing to lose, so just try everything you can as uprooting your children would be hard.
good luck.

There is certainly nothing to loose in trying, which OP is already doing.

hi girlpower, thanks for your post. Someone told me they've got a friend who's been granted LR for herself and her kids on discretional grounds Even though they were not born in this country.
