Under section 55 of the BCIA (Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act) 2009, it is incumbent on the Secretary of State at the Home Office (SSHD) to carefully consider the best interests of children. After a thorough review of the case, they decide whether or not a child should be granted discretionary permission to remain in the UK. The child or children must be under the age of 18 to benefit from the 7-year-old rule. Unfortunately, if you are over 18 years old, you cannot qualify for this visa category. The Home Office had a seven-year policy for children called DP5/96, under which it was assumed that a child who had lived in the UK continuously for seven years should not be deported from the UK unless there were other opposing factors. This policy was withdrawn in December 2008. When the seven-year child grant was included in the immigration rules, the explanation of this particular amendment (paragraph 7.6 of HC194) stated: Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors4.8Based on 182 reviewsWrite a ReviewThis team of immigration lawyers is the best in London.
