Tread very carefully Robert.

As you now know, technically/legally and following the court ruling in the case of McCarthy v Secretary of State for the Home Department (Case C-434/09) any status you MAY be granted is solely a policy/discretional decision by the Home Office.

If it were me I would not go shaking that particular can of worms.

No offence Robert just trying to help.
