Premium Service Center, FLR(HRO) / FLR(FP)

[shazi-uk]

Hi,

So much confusion between FLR(FP) and FLR(HRO) !!!

2011: Children were granted 3-Year discretionary leave.
2013: I was granted leave on discretionary basis IN LINE with children.
2014: We applied for extension and all were granted 3-Year discretionary leave.

Home Office decision letter clearly states:

"granted leave to remain in the United Kingdom in accordance with the principles set out in the Home Office Policy Instruction on Discretionary Leave."

AND

APPLYING FOR AN EXTENSION
"A person will not become eligible for settlement until they have completed 6 years of Discretionary Leave."

AND

WHICH APPLICATION FORM MUST I USE?
"Application form FLR(O) must be used if you are applying for an extension of Discretionary Leave (DL) where you have previously been granted a period of DL, but have not previously been refused or granted less than four year Exceptional Leave"

Please note that the decision letter explicitly says that:
1. I was granted leave to remain in the United Kingdom in accordance with the principles set out in the Home Office Policy Instruction on Discretionary Leave.
2. I should be able to apply for settlement after 6 years of Discretionary Leave.
3. I must use Form FLR(O) to apply for an extension of Discretionary Leave.

2017: Children are now eligible for settlement (old rules / transitional provisions) but I need to apply for another extension to complete 6-years.

Confusions:

Q1: Am I under old rules as my leave was granted IN LINE with children and 2nd DL period was 3-Year not 2.5-Year?

Q2: Can I apply for extension after 3-Year DL at PSC under transitional provision?

Q3: What will happen if I apply and PSC rejects the application and says you can't use PSC, use postal application?

Q4: Will they keep the application and decide later or will the reject the application and keep the money?

So much confusion... please clarify.
