Discretionary Leave Following Refusal of An Asylum Claim
If you have claimed asylum in the UK and the Home Office do not recognise you as a refugee or a person who qualifies for humanitarian protection, the Home Office UKBA may give you another type of temporary permission to stay in the UK. This permission is called 'discretIonary leave to remain'. How long you are allowed to stay will depend on your circumstances, but it is unlikely to be more than three years initially.
The Home Office will only give you discretionary leave to remain in limited circumstances. If you apply to renew it when it expires, the Home Office will review your circumstances before deciding whether to give you further permission to stay. To extend your residence permit or apply for permanent residence, you will need to complete application form HPDL.
