Can my child apply with me on my spouse visa?ShowHide
Yes. Apply at the same time as the Partner visa. The child pays £2,064 plus £2,328 surcharge and is granted in line with you for 33 months. The sponsor's income must then meet £29,000 plus £3,800 for the first child.
My child is British. Do we still need the child supplement?ShowHide
No. A British child does not count for the financial requirement and does not need a visa, only a British passport. Register the birth or apply for citizenship first if eligible.
I am in the UK and my child lives with my mother in Punjab. Can my child join me?ShowHide
Only if you have sole responsibility or there are serious and compelling reasons. Grandparents caring day to day is not fatal, but the other parent must be absent from decisions. Build the evidence over months before applying.
