An application for discretionary Leave to Remain (DLR) is made outside the Immigration Rules on the basis of human rights as well as compelling and compassionate circumstances of the applicant. The discretionary leave is based on discretion of the Secretary of State for the Home Department (SSHD) in favour of the applicant due to particular compelling and compassionate circumstances of the applicant and therefore despite not meeting the requirements of the Immigration Rules for the grant of leave to remain under the Rules, the Secretary of State for the Home Department (SSHD) can exercise his/her discretion and grant someone Discretionary Leave to Remain (DLR). Discretionary Leave to Remain (DLR) is currently granted by the Home Office UKVI under the 10 years route to settlement.
