Hi all, I'm supporting a younger sibling in the process of putting together an application for his Indefinite Leave to remain and I have a couple of questions. He was born December 1992, first entered into the UK with our parents at the age of 11 (August 2004) on a 6 month C-Visit Visa (Valid from A...

There is no set period of how long a DLR applicant can stay abroad. DLR is issued outside the immigration rules. It is governed by executive policies. I believe a period of 4-6 months work overseas, should be reasonable in all the circumstances. Many thanks for your response Obie. That's great news...

To add to this, domestic violence was involved at times and this application route may be pursued.

Since the incident was not reported at the time, is there any sort of other evidence that can be used other than the police report?

Hi all,

I posted on this issue last year. Is there any alternative to that suggested above?


Many thanks in advance.

Hi All, I'm hoping someone can offer some advice, my sister is midway through her two-year temporary permission to remain in the UK as the partner of a permanent resident.

Been of great help. Sure to update here of any proceedings.

Many thanks vinny, God bless.

One last question, can you advice how can this be stated on the application form?

Thanks vinny,

I understand it is deemed overstaying and I therefore don't qualify. Please can you offer advice as to if the application may be considered as unintentional overstaying or will be assessed on the normal grounds of overstaaying
