advise child concession

[alancn]

hi all friends .

i would like to get your kind advise about overstayed as visitor.
My girl friend and I came to uk as visitor in september 2007 and for some reasons didnt back home. i decided to stay UK

now, we have 2 children (one 3year old and one 1.8 years old )We have not applied any sylum or anything .
we do not know what to do .if my child lived in the UK continuously for seven years. can we apply indefinite leave to remain (ILR) is that possible ?
or apply asylum
please let me know guys .

Asylum is for people who are in danger if they return to their homeland rather than those who merely want to live in a better place. Yes, it's true that the 7 year child concession but you are 4 years short of that target.

Also, the 7 year concession would be a route to settlement not ILR.

Where have you come from and why did you not want to go back?

[Lucapooka]

There is no concession anymore as such, it's all judged on the best interests of the child, and the view is children can adapt.

Adults can too - I've lived in four different countries over the last three years and I'm 56!
