[quote="Ket"]Thanks Joejo and Mariyeh for your responses. Ideally as we won our appeals prior to 9th July, old rules should be applicable to us.
Read the below which i got from Statement of Intent for family migration from UKBA website:
Those who, before 9 July 2012, have been granted leave under the Discretionary Leave policy will continue to be dealt with under that policy through to indefinite leave to remain if they qualify for it (normally after two periods of three years’ Discretionary Leave), subject to the application of the new criminality thresholds, including in respect of cases awaiting decision on a further period of Discretionary Leave on that date.
The above are old rules.
The new rules are as follows:
Those granted leave following an appeal allowed on or after 9 July 2012 on Article 8 grounds against a refusal under other rules (not family) in force prior to that date will not be granted leave under the Discretionary Leave policy, but will instead be granted 30 months’ leave on the new 10 year family route.
Hey Ket
To my understanding from the above post of your query, its that those whose appeals where allowed on the 9th July 2012 or after the 9th July 2012 of the new rules under ART8 folllowing a refusal, will be granted 2.5yrs DL on the new 10yr family policy.
But you said that you won ya appeal in Jan 2012, i did mine on the 13 june 2012 so i would think that we may be under the Old rule of 3+3=6=ILR.
However i not 100% sure but thats my interpretation of what they gat to say with new rule changes besides we should not forget what they are like in implementing the wrong thing.
Wat do you think
