UK DISCRETIONARY LEAVE TO REMAIN

UK DISCRETIONARY LEAVE TO REMAIN SPECIALISTS

AS APPEARED IN THE GUARDIAN AND THE TIMES NEWSPAPERS

NO WIN NO FEE -  ‘No win no fee’ means if your claim is unsuccessful you don’t pay a penny in Solicitor’s fees*

Hayat & Co. specialise exclusively in fresh Discretionary Leave Applications, Discretionary Leave appeals and Judicial Review applications (in particular in respect of unsuccessful Discretionary Leave applications) made to the Home Office under Human Rights law.  In the applications submitted to the UKBA (United Kingdom Border Agency) in the period from 2010 to 2014 almost all of these have been successful with any remaining cases currently being challenged. This record of success dating back to 1998 speaks for itself and we trust serves to demonstrate the diligent and meticulous care and effort adopted by Hayat & Co. in its approach in dealing with its clients.

At Hayat & Co. we are genuinely concerned about the poor legal advice and representation often received by individuals who seek assistance in serious and sensitive immigration cases. We regularly receive instructions from clients whose cases have been mishandled and who as a direct result of this were unable to secure any alternative legal representation, however, once instructed we  acted to resolve these cases and almost invariably with satisfactory outcomes. Hayat & Co. believe all individuals should be afforded a high standard of  professional assistance and service at all times something it considers to be a basic and fundamental right that everyone should be entitled to expect in a  progressive and just society.

In the Discretionary Leave applications that are submitted by  us on behalf of our clients we endeavor to ensure that in each and every case that all potential and available evidence is properly sought, pursued, obtained, and assessed before any application is submitted to the Home Office. This is regardless as to the additional time or cost this might involve or for that matter incur for Hayat & Co at their expense.  Every application is submitted in view of and in accordance with the current and prevailing law, relevant and applicable procedures and any other legal requirements in order to ensure every client is provided the best possible chance of success. Achieving success in each and every  case is of paramount importance to Hayat & Co. who are well aware of  the serious  impact it will  have not only on a individual but also their family members or others. In its pursuit of seeking and ensuring decisions and the law is applied justly,  fees will always remain a secondary consideration for Hayat & Co. and as a result we often provide assistance well over and above what an individual can expect or would be  otherwise entitled to. However, this remains at the discretion of Hayat & Co. at all times.

Discretionary Leave to Remain Under Article 8 ECHR

A person can apply for Discretionary Leave to Remain on the basis of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 (ECHR) arguing that his/her removal from the UK will result in breach of the UK’s obligation under Article 8 of the ECHR and that interference of the UK Authorities in a person’s private and family life will be an unreasonable and disproportionate interference. The Discretionary Leave to Remain is a leave granted by the Secretary of State outside the Immigration Rules and any exceptional and compassionate circumstances in the case are always a relevant consideration when it is decided whether or not discretion should be exercised to grant Discretionary Leave to Remain.

Discretionary Leave Following Refusal of An Asylum Claim

If you have claimed asylum in the UK and the Home Office do not recognise you as a refugee or a person who qualifies for humanitarian protection, the Home Office UKBA may give you another type of temporary permission to stay in the UK. This permission is called ‘Discretionary Leave to Remain’. How long you are allowed to stay will depend on your circumstances, but it is unlikely to be more than three years initially.

The Home Office will only give you discretionary leave to remain in limited circumstances. If you apply to renew it when it expires, the Home Office will review your circumstances before deciding whether to give you further permission to stay.
