The category is intended for a parent who is responsible for the child or has the right to access to the child after breaking the relationship with the other parent who is British or settled person.<\/p>\n
In order for a parent to get permission to enter the UK in this category, the child must be:
\n\u2022 under 18 years of age at the date of the initial application;
\n\u2022 British or settled in the UK;
\n\u2022 living in the UK.<\/p>\n
\u2022 to demonstrate sole parental responsibility in relation to the child;
\n\u2022 to provide evidence that the applicant is involved and will continue to play a major role in the child\u2019s upbringing;
\n\u2022 to demonstrate that the applicant will be able to provide himself\/herself and the child with adequate accommodation and maintenance;
\n\u2022 to demonstrate proficiency in English at the A1 level (Listening and Speaking).<\/p>\n
The applicant shall be granted a 2.5 year visa, which then may be extended for another 2.5 years. After five years, the applicant can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain, and after another 12 months – for British citizenship. When extending a visa, it will be necessary to demonstrate knowledge of the English language at the A2 level (Listening and Speaking), and when applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain, at the B1 level.<\/p>\n
If the applicant is unable to provide for himself and the child financially or is unable to pass an English test, he will be forced to take a 10-year route (2.5 years x 4). The visa will need to be extended three times.<\/p>\n
A parent can apply for a visa from the UK if he\/she is in the UK on any visa that is valid for more than 6 months (except for a visit visa).
\nWhen the child turns 18, the parent must show that the child is still in his\/her care and depends on him\/her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
