20 year leave case laws

[oroborpat007]

Please users (normal or administrators), tell me of any 20 year continuous leave application you know about. I am trying to gather case laws.

Thanks in advance.

Have you been refused before? Might be again clock stopping if your any application refused before

[CR001]

There is no ILR based on 20 years long residence. It would be an FLR(FP) or FLR(LR) maybe, which would be another 10 years in this category before qualifying for ILR.

What information are you exactly looking?

Hi CR001, is there any clock stopping like 14 years rule?

What do you mean by 'clock stopping'??

[Shondra Sharma]

time count from home office refused application

Do you mean you've been here for 14 years without valid leave since your application was refused?

[Shondra Sharma]

my question is if some one lived in uk for 20 years but his/her visa refused in that period, can they apply for 20 years long residence rule? does 20 year count from the visa refused or from the beginning? before 9th july 2012, 14 years rule had a clock stopping provision, if some one visa refused, 14 years time start from there?

As I understand it (and others will correct me if I am wrong), for 20 year cases, the clock starts when the person has entered the UK and includes all the time that he has been in the UK, whether legally or illegally (such as when his applications have been refused) and does not stop except if he left the UK while illegal.

If 20 years have elapsed since his coming to the UK, the person would be eligible to be considered for FLR(FP) or FLR(LR) as CR001 has said and it would be a further 10 years before he would be eligible for ILR.

To clarify; I should have said legal and/or illegal 20 years continuous 'invalid leave' application case laws. I already know the application will be- FLR(FP) on a 10 year route to ILR; a total of 30 years. Please give or PM me any case laws you know. Thanks in advance.

N.B @Shondra Sharma you happen to be a senior member, you mean you do not know that 20 year leave can be either legal or illegal?

[CR001]

Just because someone is a 'senior member' doesn't mean they know everything about all immigration routes. Even us moderators sometimes don't know things.

@CR001 I understand, I was just curious. I meant no disrespect, even I do not know everything. I hope I did not sound judgemental. Sorry for chatting, I know it is against the rules.

Back to my question, any case laws will be much appreciated.
