Gurkha children leave to enter outside the rules

[bhimgrg]

This question is dedicated to CR001 or VINNY

I have similar problem like “Baijal”. I applied for settlement visa from Nepal to join family in the UK using VAF 4A Family settlement form under Gurkhas family rules. Both my parent presented and settled in the UK. They were issued ILE in 2010. My application was refused and I appeal decision against of ECO. My appeal was allowed under article 8 ECHR.

I was issued “Leave to enter outside the rules’’ visa and it has 33 month expiry date. In the obser. Section there is written “dependant work permitted” .

Q: It is a right endorsement? I thought it is a wrong endorsement? Please reply me as soon as possible.

I've split your post into this new topic.

Did you appeal in 2010? When did they grant you this?

I'm unsure what the leave to enter outside the Immigration rules endorsement for Gurkhas children should be like. The latest Court of Appeal judgment seems unhelpful.

No, I applied visa from Nepal in 2015 under new rules called ANNEX-K-Adult-Children-of-Former-Gurkhas-Chapter-15-Section-2A-2 http://www.gurkhabde.com/wp-content/upl ... n-2A-2.pdf

I was granted this visa in 2016 winning appeal.

Below one is update version of ANNEX-K Gurkhas Adult Children rules guidance

following conditions:
• the former Gurkha parent has been, or is in the process of being granted
settlement under the 2009 discretionary arrangements or was granted leave
under the 2004 Immigration Rules where the requirement to have been
discharged on or after 1 July 1997 had been waived

been available
• the applicant has not been living apart from the former Gurkha for more than 2
years on the date of application, and has never lived apart from the sponsor for
more than 2 years at a time, unless this was by reason of education or

lived away)
