discretionary leave for family

Post by october2013 » Tue Oct 15, 2013 11:50 am

hello all, please i need your guidance. My husband came to the UK in 2004 as an msc student, i joined him a month after as his dependant. he finished and went on for his phd and in the meantime we have a child that's just turned 7yrs. We have a PSW permit that expires in November. We would like advise on how to renew this so that we can stay 1yr more and then qualify for settlement.
We saw several lawyers who gave different advises -
lawyer A, B & C said 2 apply for discretionary leave using the 7yr child route. however lawyer C has now contacted us to say our application would most likely be declined as we are a family unit (apparently if we were separated, it might be easier).
Lawyer D - says we should apply for entrepreneur permit or get a job that gives work permit

MY question is this, has anyone been in this situation and what advise can they offer? is there a route we can apply and get the 1yr extension we need?
