UK IMMIGRATION

If you have had lodged an unsuccessful application to enter or to remain in the UK, you can appeal against this decision, under the ambit of the Human Rights Act 1998, providing you can meet a certain criteria.

An application made under this Act is called a Discretionary Leave application. An application of this kind is made outside the ambit of the  immigration rules and is based on exceptional, compassionate and compelling circumstances. In order to make a successful application, you will need to satisfy the following criteria:

• The applicant must have resided continuously in the UK for at least 20 years; or
• The applicant must be  under the age of 18 years of age and have resided continuously in the UK for at least seven years; or
• The applicant must be aged 18 years or above but under 25 years and have spent at least half of their life residing continuously in the UK; or
• The applicant must be aged 18 years or above and have resided continuously in the UK for less than 20 years and  have no social, cultural or family ties with their country of origin.
