# The Immigration (Variation of Leave) (Amendment) Order 1989, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order varies the Immigration (Variation of Leave) Order 1976 in two respects.
It provides that where a person who has applied for a variation of his current limited leave under the Immigration Act 1971 to enter or remain in the United Kingdom withdraws that application, the duration of his leave shall be extended for a period of 28 days after the date of the withdrawal.
It also provides that article 3(2)(c) of the 1976 Order does not exclude from the benefit of that Order a person who applies for a variation of his current limited leave where such leave has been granted by an immigration officer or the Secretary of State and is concurrent with an extension of leave which has effect by virtue of that Order.
