Permission granted after a permission hearing today in the case of a young adult who had requested Indefinite Leave to Remain as part of her Leave to Remain extension application. SSHD failed to engage with her ILR request and we issued JR. Grateful to Rajiv Sharma for his help

I am a dutch, widowed parent, of a British child. I live in the UK on a parent visa and my daughter is happily growing up here, near my late wife's family and our friends. Last week Home Office cancelled my right to be here. In error. A thread to put the record straight.
