If you are currently in the UK, you can apply to extend your Discretionary Leave (DL) before your existing Discretionary Leave to Remain (DLR) expires. Discretionary Leave (DL) is awarded outside the standard Immigration Rules, in line with the Home Office’s Discretionary Leave policy. To qualify for an extension, you must continue to meet the criteria outlined in the applicable Discretionary Leave policy at the time of your application.

For expedited processing, consider applying through the Super Priority Service, which can provide a decision on your extension application within 24 hours—except in cases where the initial Discretionary Leave was granted following an asylum claim refusal.

Additionally, children born in the UK to parents both holding DL (and not being British citizens) are typically granted limited leave in alignment with their parents’ status. If only one parent holds DL, the leave granted to the child will be contingent upon the status of the other parent.

Duration of Discretionary Leave Grant

When an extension of Discretionary Leave (DL) is approved, the length of the leave is determined based on the specific circumstances of the case, though it typically does not exceed 30 months (2.5 years) at a time. As of July 9, 2012, individuals granted DL must generally complete a continuous period of at least 120 months of limited leave (equivalent to 10 years, typically comprising four separate 2.5-year periods) before becoming eligible to apply for settlement.
