Thanks for the link but i never said just because he is British that she has an automatic right to settlement, just asking for infoJAJ wrote:http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk
But his mother doesn't have an automatic right to settlement just because he is British.
She is 62 and lives in Cuba.PaperPusher wrote:That is usually people's next statement when they find their parent or friend's parent isn't elligible for settlement in my experience! I do not think any offence was meant.
If she is under 65 is is extremely difficult to get a settlement entry clearance to join a child in the UK. I have read a case where the woman has no electricity, shares a house and lives in a refugee camp in Pakistan because she fled there from Afghanistan, the application has still been refused. In that case because she had relatives with her. Even if she is over 65 she would have to be mainly or wholly financialy dependent on her son and not have relatives to turn to for support, which is still a very high test.
So, how old is she and where does she live?

i know he has an only brother (lives in the States) would need to find out about other relatives.PaperPusher wrote:So the test is:

Does she have relatives in Cuba, if so what is her relationship to them?
Thanks for thatPaperPusher wrote:It would be a very hard application because of her age. Even after 65 it is not straight forward. Perhaps your friend should get legal advice.
