This route allows children aged 17 years of age or younger to remain in the UK if they have lived continuously in the UK for 7 years.
If the child complies to this, the parent or parents would be expected to remain in the UK under this route by adding themselves to the visa application form.
This visa application is a little bit more complex as you would be expected to provide evidence per child and per parent and each family circumstances can be very unique so do not read a blog and think, if that was good for then, it must be good for us. Visa fees are not refundable if you get it wrong.
What visa form do we need to use?
If the child complies to this application guidelines and all the right original supportive documents are in order, you complete FLR (FP).
You will be expected to provide certain evidence in original format that includes where the child is living and has lived, the financials that supports the child's UK stay, who are the parents and their responsibilities and child's education and if applicable medical condition.
Under this form you have to demonstrate, if the child's visa was refused, what impact would it have on them and the child's family if they had to leave the UK.
