Section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971 provides that, where a person applies for a variation of leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom and this application remains undecided by the date on which their leave would expire, leave will be extended until the date of any such decision. These Regulations specify when an application for variation of leave is decided.
