Morning All,
Thanks for creating this post. It is really helpful info here.
I fall under this category & my ILRis due in june 2016. As i read online on gov.uk website it says im not allowed to use the premium service to apply for ILR due to DLR for 6 years (3×2). How true is that? Do i have any options here?
Any advise will be helpful!
Thanks in advance

You may have misunderstood the official guidance:
You also can’t use the premium or super premium service if you’re applying for discretionary leave to remain or humanitarian protection unless:
you’re applying under the transitional arrangements to extend your discretionary leave after 3 years
you’re applying to settle in the UK after 6 years discretionary leave

Thanks Casa,
I never read this carefully, so you are telling me I'm actually eligible to apply same day service or window service?
I hope I'm not confused about this!!!
Thanks

If you're applying for ILR after 6 years of discretionary leave you can use the Premium 'in person' service.

Hello everyone reading this site has been helpful and I realy hope someone can help me.
I was granted DLR in 2009 for 3 years and again in 2013
My expiry date is 2016
Is it possible to applie early as I have already completed my 6 years already?
PS. They waited a whole year to grant me the second 3 years so technically I will be doing 7 years by the time it expires
Any help will be welcomed
Thanks

Hi friends
I have been reading the posts about ILR after discretionary leave. Could someone please help me on few points please ;
I had first extension (on the basis of family life in uk)in 2009 (2009-2012) and 2nd extension was applied in time but it took one year to grant me 2nd extension which was from 2013 to 2016 instead of 2012 to 2015.
Question ; can I apply in 2015 when six years of discretionary leave completes?
As in Set (o) form which is approximately of 80-82 pages do I need to attach all the pages or I can attach only those pages in my application which are relevant to me. As there are so many pages for each category to fill in and the pages(categories) which are not relevant to me can I take those pages out of my application.
If I apply to submit application in person (premium service) do I still need to fill the payment form as a part of application ?
Do I need to enroll for biometric again as a part of application as I already have a biometric residence permit ?
And what are Health surcharges when do you pay this surcharge as I don't find any option to pay health surcharge?
Thanks
Regards
