Hi All
My Friend to apply for her family to bring to UK as Spouse from Pakistan. There are queries need to get your suggestions.

1) Does a child who has already British citizen need to count for Income requirement or not as per below from website don't need but still your experts opinion will confirm it further.

2) One of the Child is Over 18. How to apply for that as she is not under 18 and can't be added into application with mother.

If need to apply as //Apply as an adult coming to be cared for by a relative . There are 3 Options, so he need to select Option1 or Option 3. In Option 3 does both Parents need to be settled or only one parent settled is enough, in this case only Father has settled and British National and mother is applying to join him as spouse now.

1. No.

2. Child over 18 will have to find their own visa route to the UK they qualify for. Child settlement visas apply to children under 18. Adult dependent relative is not relevant to the over 18 child either

Does the child need 24 hours care and help with dressing bathing and living and long term care? If the answer is no, then this route doesn't apply.

Child of settled parents of appendix 1 refers to children under 18.

Thank You CR001.
What will be other Options for this child to join their parent. As now mother and other kids will be going to Join husband in UK, so how can this child stay alone. What other category she can apply to join their Parents.

How old is the child?

Why did they not join the UK parent/spouse before the child turned 18?

Hi CR001
Child is 21. She is still living with her mother in Pakistan. Until now only Father is in UK and British Citizen. His Wife and other Kids are applying now to join him in UK but this one child is Over 18 which is an issue.

Mother and her Kids don't have Visa, they are applying now for Visa to Join the Husband who is British Citizen in UK. So don't know how to sort out the issue for this child now who is over 18.

I am sorry to say that they have simply waited too long.

She could possibly go on a student visa (expensive) but that alone does not lead to settlement and she would have to rely on the existence of a post study work permit at the time she is done with her studies and being sponsored by an employer afterwards - a lot of ifs and buts.

Otherwise she would be seen as an adult who should be capable of living on her own, if the parents decide to move abroad. I know, this is not culturally compatible with Pakistan but that's what it is.

Thank you, yes even the plan is that she just get visa now and then go back to Pakistan as she is studying Medicine there.
so might be in that case she has to wait longer and once finished studies can come as student, but that will be a bit hard to stay away from parents for couple of years.
