If you where to start your own thread and post your full immigration history you will probably get help, with that Information provided, I don't think anyone can help like that.

Hi all,

after following this forum sporadically for many years, and following some of the great advice being given here as well as taking some risks, I have finally been granted ILR after 19 years.

I came to the UK in 2000 with my mother, after having our asylum application refused, we were granted DLR in 2012, we the subsequently applied for an extension of 3 more years which took the HO a long time to decide on. However, the time in which the Home Office takes on processing an on time application, counts towards your 6 years (please see this an print attach to your application if possible, Section C, pg 6).

I would also advice people to attach the transitional arrangements guidelines, pg 24 (For some reason the link is not working)

Also, people with DLR do not have to pass the life in the UK test or demonstrate their knowledge of English (please see this link and print this page and attach it to the section on the Set O form where it asks you to provide proof of Knowledge of the English language and life in the UK

I did my application at the PSC in Croydon, against the advice of my own lawyer who insisted that the HO does not provide a same day service for DLR holders who were previously refused asylum.

I still went ahead and did it and it was done within 3 hours. I enclosed 3 months worth of bank statements, payslips, employment letters, and proof of address covering 6 years, 1 for each year (to demonstrate that I have been living in the UK). List of all your absences. Your current passport, previous passports, and biometric card, 2 passport photos. Please also enclose copies of all these documents, including passport pages of stamps and visas. Enclose Home office letters showing when the first DLR was granted and the second DLR as well. Do not over complicate things by enclosing too many documents, these case workers have so many cases to go through, so make it as clear as possible. I found it helpful to enclose copies because it saves them time. I also enclosed the relevant copies of their guidelines (specific pages) to make their job easier. It is very important you enclose a cover letter (please see below).

Dear Sirs,

Name of applicant - Nationality – Date of birth

I'd like to apply for indefinite leave to remain on the basis of having completed 6 continous years under Discretionary Leave. (Please see Home Office document; Section 10 Transitional Agreement)

Background

Please insert on what basis you were granted your first DLR (example; I was granted my first DLR outside the immigration rules in 2012) try to avoid mentioning failed asylum applications. Make it as simple as possible, believe it or not, they do not like complicated cases. State the dates in which you were granted the first visa and the second one. Don't make it longer than 4 lines.

Exemptions
Knowledge of Language and life in the UK
I’m not subject to KoLL in the UK as I’m are applying for ILR on the basis of Discretionary Leave (Please see document enclosed, insert government guidelines in regards to KoLL).

In support of this application, please find enclosed the following documents:

1. *******
2. ********
3. ********
4. ********

If you have any further questions regarding my application, please contact me on ********

Yours faithfully

(Applicant’s name)

I sincerely hope this helps and if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask me, I'm more than happy to help. Please don't lose hope and take risks, there is always something amazing on the other side of fear.

Good luck!

Dear Lucky star.

I think you can find more information about naturalisation on another thread. Generally speaking, you're eligible to apply a year after you've obtained your ILR and having lived 5 continuous years in the UK. However, many people aren't aware of having to meet the "Good character" criteria, this includes ; if you've been in the country illegally at any period during the last 10 years.

"To be of good character you must have shown respect for the rights and freedoms of the UK, observed its laws and fulfilled your duties and obligations as a resident of the UK.

Your application may also be refused if you have been involved in immigration offences in the last 10 years, such as entering the UK illegally, evading immigration control or abuse of the Knowledge of Language and Life in the UK requirement. Your application may also be refused if you have ever assisted someone else in the evasion of immigration control or employed illegal workers. Full details of our policy can be seen on the website."

As you are applying for ILR based on 6 years DLR, you are exempt from the KoLL requirements.

Indefinite leave to remain
All those applying for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) under a route which requires
KoLL, must meet both parts of the requirement, unless they are exempt because of
their age or because of a physical or mental condition.

The following categories of people do not need to meet the KoLL requirement:
• victims of domestic violence
• foreign and Commonwealth citizens on discharge from HM Forces (including
Gurkhas)
• highly skilled migrants applying under the terms of the Highly Skilled Migrant
Programme (HSMP) judicial review, and their dependants
• bereaved spouses, civil partners, unmarried partners or same-sex partners of
people present and settled in the UK
• parents, grandparents and other dependent relatives of people present and
settled in the UK, applying under paragraph 317 of the Immigration Rules, even
if they are aged between 18 and 64
• adult dependent relatives, under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules, even if
they are aged between 18 and 64
• retired persons of independent means
• people applying for ILR as a refugee
• people applying for ILR on the basis of discretionary leave
• people applying for ILR on the basis of humanitarian protection
• people applying for indefinite leave to remain outside the Immigration Rules, for
example under discretionary arrangements such as those for Gurkhas, widows,
overage dependants and orphans

knowledge of language and life in the UK (KoLL)

Page 5, this is the guidance published for home office staff to follow and was updated on 28 March 2018.

You would write in my opinionexempt from life in the uk and language requirements as applying for indefinite-leave-to-remain based on 6 years discretionary leave to remain.

Sorry misread your question.

Click here you may have to scroll down near the middle.

This is a list of some of the users at the time of that post that where refused for an application of asylum but where granted DLR and applied after 6 years of DLR for an application of ILR.

They all used form SET(O) with the premium service and where all successfully granted ILR, there was one member that had their application deferred for further checks but was granted ILR some weeks later.

Since that post, there have been more members under that route using SET(O) with PSC granted successfully.

I'll try and link get the other users for you if possible but those mentioned in that post you should be able to get a good idea from a bit of reading from them.

Hope it helps.

ILR application Fee is £2389.00
PSC Fee (SET (O)) Fee is £610.00
Total = £2,999.00

Thanks Cmosuk,

Very grateful

But one more Question.

The DLR expired June 6.

When should I book for the psc services.
Documents gather together at the moment are

Marriage certificate in UK London
Children British passport
Correspondence letter from church
Bank statement
Letter of employment
UK driving license
And various documents through the post.

Please advice. Thanks again

Preferably it would have been better to make your own thread for your questions, hopefully mods will separate this on to your own thread.

But to answer you question, click this link

Click here

This is in my opinion is good source of information to gather as it isn't just one member but many members who contributed their experiences on this forum.

You should get a good list of documents and answers to a lot fo questions.

Since that post was made, many more members have successfully been granted ILR through the DLR route, with some with the least amount of documents provided with the application.

CMOSUK · Post by **CMOSUK** » Tue Apr 17, 2018 10:23 am

this is my understanding of what documents maybe required.

NHS Letters
Council Tax Letters
Utility bills / Correspondences (gas, electricity, landline)
Any local council or government letters / correspondences (award letters etc)
Credit Card statements (not online)
Bank statements (not online)
Letters of support
Employer Letters
Wage Slips
Covering letters ( for example, Covering letter for why you are applying for ILR)

Proof of joint address should cover the full qualifying period in the form of 6 pieces of correspondence/bills etc if in joint names or 12 examples if in single names (6 each). These should be from at least 3 difference sources and spread as evenly as possible throughout the 3 year period. 1 (or 2 if in singles names) every 4-5 months is a general guideline.

All documents should be originals and not be printed online ones as they wont be accepted. Also, when showing wage slips (if it applies to you) make sure bank statements are also corresponding with it.

hope this helps...
Thes

I posted this earlier on this thread, it should give you somewhat a good idea of what may be required.

You can apply 28 days before or within your qualifying period of 6 years of DLR, in this case as I don't know yiur initial grant of DLR, you would apply 28 days before or within of 6 June 2018.
