Uk Immigration Extension Guidance

Summary

Parents seeking a third extension in the UK should continue on the 10-year family route. If they mistakenly applied under the private life route, they should contact UK Visas and Immigration to rectify the error. They can request to vary the grounds of their application to the correct route. Consulting an immigration solicitor is advisable to ensure proper steps are taken. If the private life application is pending, they should focus on demonstrating their integration into UK society. The childrens status, even if over 18, may contribute to the context of their UK ties.

For the parents seeking a third extension, they should consider the following:
- Continue applying under the *-year family route for settlement.
- Ensure they meet the requirements for the family route extension.
- Consider applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) once eligible based on their continuous residence and family ties in the UK.
Have the parents explored if they qualify for ILR based on their own merits, apart from their children's status?
the parents have accidently applied under the 'im not applying as a family member but under private life', what should they do now, it has also been 4 months the decison is still pendinff
In this situation, the parents should consider the following steps:

- If possible, submit a request to vary the grounds of their application to reflect their intention to apply under the "family member" route.
- Seek advice from an immigration solicitor to ensure they are taking the correct steps to maintain their legal status.

Subject: Request for Correction of Application Route - [Your Application Reference Number]
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to address an error in our recent application for leave to remain in the UK.
We submitted an application under the "private life" route, which was not our intention. Our aim was to apply under the "family member" route, as we have been residing in the UK with our children for over 7 years. The children, now over *, are seeking FLR under private life, which is currently pending.
We kindly request guidance on how to amend the grounds of our application to accurately reflect our intention to apply under the *-year family route for settlement. It has been 4 months since our application, and we are eager to resolve this matter promptly to maintain our legal status.
We would be grateful for any assistance or advice you could provide, and are open to submitting further documentation if necessary.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Warm regards,

what are the chances of their application getting rejected under private life
Case Rating: *
For the parents' situation, the chances of rejection under the private life route can be influenced by several factors:
- The private life route usually requires strong evidence of their integration and ties to the UK.
- Mistakes in the application process can lead to complications.
- They might struggle if their case doesn't align well with private life criteria.
If they haven't corrected the application route yet, there's a significant risk. It's advisable to consult an immigration solicitor for guidance.
ok ask me the relevant questions to identify whether their case could potentially align with private life criteria
Case Rating: *
To better understand if the parents' case aligns with the private life criteria, consider these questions:
*. Have the parents lived continuously in the UK for at least 20 years?
*. Do they have a significant degree of integration into UK society, such as employment history, community involvement, or educational ties?
they came to the uk in * december and have been living in the uk since then
Case Rating: *
Based on the information provided, it seems the parents may not fully meet the private life criteria, as they haven't lived in the UK for 20 years yet. Integration into UK society, such as employment and community ties, could still support their application, but consulting an immigration solicitor is advisable.
what if the parents have kids in the uk even if they are over *
Case Rating: *
For the parents with children over * in the UK, the children’s status might not directly impact the parents' private life application. However, it could contribute to the overall context of their UK ties. They should focus on demonstrating their integration and contributions to UK society.
ok write me a letter on that then
