Extending descrtionary leave

[Sava]

Hi I have lived in UK for 16.5 years and have two kids born here age 11 and 7 been granted discretionary leave on 2011 and it expired on October 2014 applied for ilr and got again discretionary leave for another 3 years till 2018,why? Been here long time my oldes child is already British citizen
Could I turn this down and apply for ilr if yes how could I do it under what circumstances please ?
Granted under article 8 first time at high court in Birmingham

Under the old rules, they expect you to complete 6 years of DLR.

Thnx for your reply,but how come a friend of mine single had three years discretionary leave and just few weeks ago had ilr ? He only had been here less than nine years
Can I turn this down and apply for ilr under another form (I used dl form )?
Thank you

There's probably no harm in requesting a reconsideration, citing the earlier, more favourable, judgment.

Perhaps your friend was lucky. Unfortunately, a later judgment apparently supported the UKVI's position.

Moreover, as you only have two more years to go before completing 6 years on DLR, it's probably easier to apply for ILR at that time.

Thnx ,what is worrying me is I have applied two years ago for student finance I am not eligible for it as I have dl now again for another three years ,so I wont be able to go to uni at all,applied so many jobs aat qualified no one accept the dl leave has to be without limits they say ,so what's the point of having it at all

Dear All, I don't know how to ask question on this forum. I have very serious difficulty I am on DLR on the basis of 7 year child granted on 201. In 2017 I have to apply for ILR but sadly I am convicted on domestic violence and separated from the children and wife but I am trying to get access through family court. Please answer my question in case if I get permission to see the children or can't get access to see the children what will be my future. Will my DLR be extended or not or possible.
