He had initially found us after being recommended to us as one of the best Immigration Solicitors in Birmingham.


Our client had initially entered the UK after successfully obtaining a Tier 1 Entrepreneur Migrant Visa, he was in the UK with his wife and two children his as dependents.


When our client approached us he informed us that he wished to apply for an extension on his Tier 1 Entrepreneur Migrant Visa. After checking his documents it become clear that he did not meet the requirements and as such he was unable to apply under this route, his application would have been refused.


We then analysed our client’s personal situation and were able to provide him with a solution.


Seven-year child applications for further leave to remain


Our client was advised to apply for Further Leave to Remain on the basis of his two dependent children, as they has spent a considerable amount of time in the UK whilst our client was operating his business.


The children had spent 7 years continuously in the UK; they had enrolled into the education system, integrated into society and considered the UK as their home.


Our starting point was to look at Section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009, and in particular the “Duty regarding the welfare of children”, which establishes an overriding obligation to have regard to the welfare of children.


When we filed our client’s application we applied the case of MA (Pakistan) [2016] EWCA Civ 705 that dealt with;

  • The best interest of child who have spent 7 years in the UK.

  • How to deal with these family members mentioned above.

The Home Office on this occasion requested additional information, which we provided with a detailed cover letter, and only a short time afterwards the Home Office granted our client further leave to remain in the UK.
