At present, we are accepting referrals of cases in which a child (under 18) has spent 7 years of their life living continuously in the UK, and for whom removal to their country of origin or nationality would be unreasonable (‘7 year applications’).

Where the child or family are unable to pay the Home Office application fee and Immigration Health Surcharge, the application will include an Appendix 1 (FLR(FP)) application for the fee and the health surcharge to be waived on human rights grounds.

Where appropriate, the application will include a request that any leave to remain is granted without a condition prohibiting access to public funds.

We are also excited to announce that we have recently expanded our scope of work to include citizenship applications. Please click on the bottom tab for information regarding referrals relating to citizenship.

As in all of MiCLU’s work the project supports children first and foremost. This means that referrals into the project can only be made where an application directly benefits a child, so there must be a child who needs to regularise their status. Applications for other family members may be included where it is in the best interests of the child to do so.
