visitor visa query

[rebekah_cardiff]

Hi, thanks for reading. i really hope someone can give us some advice!

My query is, on the ukba website it says on the visitor visa page that a person using a visitor's visa can change their visitor status to another status as long as they fit the criteria of the other status. Does anyone know if we could change child visitor status to dependant relative?

Thanks very much

I also posted this on the family visa's thread as i wasn't sure which thread it should be in- sorry

Hi,

The two visitor's are children who are unable to return home due to a crisis situation. They are staying with my husband and i, who are both british nationals.

thanks

Are they the children of the British nationals, or related in another way? If not the children what is the relationship? What is their nationality and what (briefly) is the crisis situation? Where are their parents?

You may want to re-post this is the thread for family members.

I have just read your other threads. I wouldn't advice using deception in an application for entry clearance. One of the things that visitors have to show is that they intend to return and have strong ties to their home country to make that likely. If they are intending to settle, they should apply overseas. You may want proper legal advice.

This appears to be the right link to what you need on the UKBA website:
