‘Statutory’ or ‘section 3C’ leave is intended to protect a person who makes an application for leave to remain while they have existing leave (i.e. where they have made an in-time application).  Section 3C leave continues during any period when:  a) an in-country appeal could be brought (ignoring any possibility of an appeal out of time with permission), b) the appeal is pending (within the meaning of section 104 of the Nationality, Asylum and Immigration Act 2002), i.e. it has been lodged and has not been finally determined.
By working with us, you can be confident we will ensure your legal right to remain in the UK is protected, wherever possible.
