FLR(O) Discretionary Leave waiting times ..??

[Trixie22]

hello all,

am hoping someone can help me. i currently hold a brp (no time limit) and planning to apply for naturalisation in july. i am also currently pregnant and in my 1st year in university with no intention of dropping out. i plan to apply for british passport alongside my baby when born. the problem is not with me but with my partner (unmarried) who has overstayed his student visa by almost 3years now due to no fault of his. he has tried every tin possible but to no avail, he even tried a proxy marriage with another woman wen he was held detention prior to us getting together which only got him out of deportation camp but again was refused leave to remain in the uk. he is currently in the process of divorcing the 'proxy marriage' lady . the situation now is we are expecting our 1st child, we currently do not leave together. when the baby arrives, i am hoping he could apply with flr(o) for discretional leave to remain as a parent of a british child (i don't know if the 5year route or the 10 year route is the right one to go for). my question is

is it possible for him to apply as a parent of a british child? probably under article 8?

which form-- flr(o) 5yrs route or 10yrs route?
flr(fp) 5yrs route or 10yrs route?

what evidence/document does he need to provide?

how can we show he has sole responsibility of the child even if i will be very much involved with the child?

i know some on this forum has been through the same situation if not worse ..... MissA and TurboA I think they are called..

please help me, i would really appreciate any advise and i wish you all all the best.



thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi all,
I have been reading this forum since last few months and it is great to see how good people help each other.
well, I entered in uk in 2006 as a student,then had few extension. my last application was refused and went to first tier
got refused , then ask permission from first tribunal which got refused. ask for permission to appeal to the upper tribunal ,
got refused. i had no other option and i have applied for flrO last month.
i am very close to 10 year long residency. but worried what will happen if HO refuses my flrO.
i live with my wife and 2kids born here, we are none british or hold ilr.
can someone help me with few querries..?
what are the chances of success?
if they refuses flrO will I have an appeal right ? if they do not give me appeal right then can I ask for the same ? or reconsideration ?
in the meantime of this happening , will the 10year long residency breaks ?
i will really appreciate this help from such a great people here.
thanks in advance.

yes it is possible for him to apply as a parent of a bc child on 10years route because it is an immigration offender( overstayer) using form flr( fp) . most important is name has to be in the child birth certificate as a dad,,,,

thanks @lomik, reading the guidance on form flr(fp) it say 'do not use this form for a new discretional leave application' and yes, he will definitely be included on the child's birth certificate. what other document can you suggest we provide as evidence?

Hello jp1524- please if I may ask why flr(o)?
In my own opinion I think this may be a wrong form to fill in your situation but if it was advised by your solicitor then no worries probably he/ she knows what to expect. You mention that your children were born here in uk how old is the first child hopefully if the child is up to seven years old there is light at the end of the tunnel

Hi all,

I'm not sure whether my post belongs to this section or not. I am an overstayer in this country and I've been living in here since 2004. My girlfriend and I have decided to get married outside uk as it's not possible here. My girlfriend, who is from non-EU and is on Tier2 visa. My question is, how long i would be banned to re-enter in to this country if i leave voluntarily?

Thank you for your help.

Apologies for duplicate post, but this subject seems to have a lot of activity.

The applicant (my sister-in-law) applied for leave to remain as a parent and was granted leave under EX.1 of Appendix FM. She lives with her husband and son (6), they are both British citizens. It is now time to apply for further leave to remain as her first 30 months are due to end.

When completing the form FLR(FP) under family life as a parent (10 year route) which of sections 7 and 8 need to be completed?

Any advice gratefully received.
