Can anyone help? I would like to apply for my kids leave to remain under the 7 year child concession. What is required and forms to fill? Your help is very much appreciated

There is no 7 year child concession. There is an application within the rules that you may qualify for. You need to look at the immigration rules and search this forum where it has been discussed extensively.

Does anyone get stay under this new rule child lived in uk 7 or more years continuously? Please share a story. What is the waiting time for this kind of application? some said 6-9 months, some said more than a year. Do they need a biometric for this kind of application?

how we balance private and family life together? what is poor immigration history? is it overstayer, visa refused, illegal entry etc., then this rule  is only for legal people, no one give the correct answer of this? even no one know how this rule works?

As I've already said, each case is different. You have to make an argument, as with the old DLR applications.

What you have to know about this new 7 year rule is that your solicitor has to make a sound argument on your behalf.  For the fact that your child/children have lived here for 7 years is not an automatic entitlement to DLR.  You have to pass the insurmountable test, which simply means, why can't your child/children live with you in your country even though they were born here or have lived here for 7 years or more.  This is where your solicitor has to spend time, outlining the reasons why you and your kids should be allowed to stay here.

I agreed with Prince 74, that its the reason you  need to hire good legal rep
