Bump. Any updates on this last query please?c803487 wrote:Some other options she is considering and needs advice on:
Because the child has never been to UK, what if she invites him on a visitor visa first? If the child visits on a visitor visa and returns home and then later wishes to apply ILR will the visit cause complications?
If the child arrives on a visitor visa and decides to stay, can she apply for a leave to remain for him and how?
The child cannot directly apply for ILR. She/he must spend 5 years on two dependent visas in order to reach the requirements for ILR. That is the form VAF4 already mentioned by others.c803487 wrote:Bump. Any updates on this last query please?c803487 wrote:Some other options she is considering and needs advice on:

The visa would be a settlement visa if the child is under 18. Form VAF4A - application to join family who are settled/British in the UK.
I'm now confused. Child is under 18. Sole responsibility can be proved. Can the child get ILR using VAF4A?The child cannot directly apply for ILR. She/he must spend 5 years on two dependent visas in order to reach the requirements for ILR. That is the form VAF4 already mentioned by others.
