Rakesh Prajapati, an immigration solicitor, explains the 7-year child policy—a valuable route for many immigrants seeking to regularise their UK immigration status. If you are a parent of a child who has lived continuously in the UK for at least seven years, you may be eligible to apply for leave to remain in the UK based on your child’s right to a private life.
Under this policy, a child who has spent seven years or more in the UK has established a significant private life here and can usually not be expected to leave the country. The 7-year rule provides a pathway for parents who may be in the country unlawfully but have children who are British or have strong ties to the UK. This route is part of the UK’s immigration framework, which recognises the rights of children and aims to protect their welfare.
The child’s long-term residence in the UK, their education, social ties, and health can all be considered when determining whether it is in the child’s best interests to remain in the country. If you are in this situation, it is crucial to consult with an experienced immigration solicitor who can guide you through the process.
