Extension Of Discretionary Leave

You can apply for renewal of your discretionary leave to remain which was granted outside the Immigration Rules based on exceptional compelling and compassionate circumstances of the applicant. For the application for renewal of Discretionary Leave to Remain to succeed, there should be no adverse change in the circumstances of the applicant at the time of making an application for renewal of the Discretionary Leave. An application for renewal of Discretionary Leave to Remain is made using application form FLR (HRO) if the application is being made outside the Rules. However, if the circumstances of the applicant have changed in such a way that the requirements of paragraph 276ADE or Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules can be satisfied, it would be better to make an application under the Immigration Rules rather than outside the rules.

Sunrise Solicitors were absolutely amazing! From the moment we approached them with our concerns, they gave us so much reassurance and confidence throughout the entire process. We had the pleasure of working with Mr. Usman Ahmed, who handled our applications swiftly and professionally. I would also like to sincerely appreciate his assistant, Muhammed Arslan. He was equally dedicated, supportive, and helpful throughout the process, and we truly appreciate all his efforts. We completed our biometrics, and to our surprise, within just one week, our visas were approved. I mean both Main applicant and dependent visas successfully approved. We couldn’t be more grateful for the excellent service and support we received. Thank you so much, Sunrise Solicitors, for making the process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend you to anyone looking for reliable and professional immigration services. And if you’re ever wondering who to ask for, ask for Usman Ahmed, anytime, any day!
