"Leave to Remain" is the term the home office uses to give an asylum seeker temporary 'leave' to stay in the UK. It can be as little as 3 months and as much as 3 years. ‘Indefinite Leave to Remain” is when the applicant is granted citizenship with ‘refugee status’ . Only 4% of children get Leave To Remain on first application. They then have to appeal their case in a court of law.
