7 Year Child Route – Child Residence

The 7 years child residence route is for a child who has lived in the UK continuously for 7 years whilst the child is under the age of 18.

A child who has lived in the UK for 7 years continuously can apply for leave to remain on the basis of private life. Paragraph 276ADE(1)(iv) requires that the applicant must be under the age of 18 years and must have lived continuously in the UK for at least 7 years (discounting any period of imprisonment) and it should not be reasonable to expect the child to leave the UK.

The parents and siblings of the child can also apply for leave to remain along with the child who has lived in the UK for 7 years continuously. The child’s private life and the child’s best interests as envisaged under Section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 are the main basis for such application.

As specialist 7 years child residence solicitors, we can provide fast, friendly, reliable and fixed fee legal services for following applications relating to 7 years child residence route:

I recently completed the second 2.5-year extension of my residency with Sunrise Solicitors. Mr Asif Rizwy handled both extensions and was professional, proactive, and genuinely invested in my case. His guidance and attention to detail played an important role in the success of my application. What stood out most was that working with Mr Asif felt like working with someone who truly cared about the outcome. Thank you, Mr Asif and Sunrise Solicitors. I would also like to thank Ritvee at Sunrise Solicitors. Her calm, reassuring manner when speaking with clients made me feel confident that I was in the right place. Thank you, Ritvee. I would highly recommend Sunrise Solicitors to anyone looking for professional, supportive, and reliable immigration legal services.

Usman Ahmad I had a consultation with him and he was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and reassuring throughout. He took the time to listen carefully to my situation, answered all of my questions clearly, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. I came away from the call feeling much more confident about what I needed to do next. Really professional and approachable — I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for immigration advice.

Usman Ahmad and Miss Jerin at Sunrise Solicitors were efficient, prompt and highly professional throughout a complex case involving past visa refusals. They requested all necessary documents, compiled the case thoroughly and handled everything with confidence. If you have a complex situation or previous refusals, I would highly recommend Sunrise Solicitors. They will also be handling our future visa applications.

We cannot thank this firm enough for their exceptional service regarding my mother’s naturalisation application. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Tariq throughout this matter, and his expertise, guidance, and attention to detail were truly invaluable. We are beyond delighted with the wonderful outcome and the successful grant of her application. If you are looking for dedicated and reliable legal representation, look no further. Highly recommended!
