Adult Dependent Relative Visa
The adult dependent relative visa category is to be utilised by those settled in the UK, wishing to sponsor elderly parents or other adult dependent family members who through age or illness require care. We understand that adult dependent relative visa applications can be complex and using the services of an immigration expert are highly recommended. We pride ourselves on being approachable and proactive in understanding and meeting our clients’ needs. You will need to ensure that you meet all of the mandatory requirements before you apply. You will need to complete the relevant forms and collate your evidence for submission. This will need to be extensive and prove that your relationship is genuine.
Adult dependent relative visa application requirements:
To qualify for adult dependent relative visa, you must satisfy the following UK Visas and Immigration requirements:
- That the adult dependent relative is applying from outside of the UK
- Be an adult direct relative of the sponsor (this includes an over-18 parent, grandparent or sibling. A child would also meet the definition if the sponsor is in the UK at the time of the application)
- Is applying with their partner with whom they have a subsisting relationship, if there is one
- Is sponsored by a person settled in the UK, or present as a refugee
- Requires ‘long-term personal care to perform everyday tasks’ due to age, illness or disability
- Demonstrates that the care must be unavailable or unaffordable in the country in which they live, even with the help of the sponsor (and any partner), and
- Is maintained and accommodated in the UK without recourse to public funds
How can you apply for adult dependent relative visa:
You can submit an application from outside the United Kingdom. However, depending on your circumstances, you may be able to make an in-country application under this route either outside the rules, or under Immigration Rule 276ADE. This rule provides that a person should be granted leave to remain if there are significant obstacles to the applicant’s integration into the country to which one will have to go if required to leave the UK.
How can you prove long-term personal care as a result of age, illness or disability:
Applicants face an uphill struggle in satisfying the requirements of the rule. In most developed countries, sufficient medical and social care is often available at a premium (even if it is limited). This forms the basis of most Home Office refusals: if the sponsor can afford to pay for their adult dependent relative to live in the UK, they are likely to have the financial resources to pay for care in the applicant’s home country. However, to satisfy the Home Office that the adult dependent relative requires a long-term personal care as a result of age, illness or disability, you may wish to provide an expert medical report. It is also important to evidence that the adult dependent relative is unable to obtain the required level of care in the country of residence by way of an expert report on the availability of suitable care facilities in support of the application.
What happens if your adult dependent relative visa application is refused:
Should you fail to meet the requirements, it is likely that any future applications for temporary migration (such as a visit visa) will be viewed by the decision-maker through the prism of being from a failed prospective settler and subjected to greater scrutiny. At Aaryan Solicitors, team of our immigration law specialists’ can advise you on the merits of making a fresh application and/or challenging the decision by way of an appeal to the Immigration Tribunal.
