ILR (DL)

[ozed007]

Hello,
I have completed 6 years of DL and have applied for ILR since the past 8 months (biometrics done). I have contacted the home office and even involve my MP to help out but they keep replying that my case is still with the RCM team and will contact me when a decision have been made. Please is anyone in this same situation

Are you a refugee or were only given DLR ?

[ozed007]

I was refused asylum but granted DL due to private life (my son). I came into UK as an asylum seeker in 2002.

[ozed007]

I was granted DL in 2013

Generally DLR granted after July 2012 only leads to ILR after 10 years. What is your immigration history ?

Asylum refuse 2003

Hello mate.

Am in similar situation as you:
-Got my first 3 years DL as unmarried partnership to Uk citizen in july 2013
-second DL 3 years in july 2016
Applied for my indefinite leave o 03/07/2019
Still expecting decision

N:B:
I had applied for my visa in 2012 during the old system but got granted during the new system, thus i was given recourse to public fund and it was stated on my approval letter that am eligible for indefinite leave after 6 years of DL

My DL also had recourse to public fund

Hello zimba:

I think you are wrong by saying any DL GRANTED after 2012 leads to 10 years. Some applicant whom had already applied before commencement of the new rule in july 2012, where given Discretionary leave to remain 3 years route and not the current 30 months rule. see below my history:

-Got my first 3 years DL as unmarried partnership to Uk citizen in july 2013
-second DL 3 years in july 2016
Applied for my indefinite leave o 03/07/2019
Still expecting decision
