- has lived continuously in the UK for at least 20 years (discounting any period of imprisonment); or
- is under the age of 18 years and has lived continuously in the UK for at least 7 years (discounting any period of imprisonment) and it would not be reasonable to expect the applicant to leave the UK; or
