The law is statight forward as long as you are not 18 before your residence in the uk is 7 years you are entitled to regularisation. No Jupiter can send the child out of uk after 7 years as he or she is entitled to private right. Many people had regularised their status this way cos as soon as the child gets regulariaed the parent use their child's status to regularise.

Again, I ask.
You mean if my 10 year old nephew gets a visitor visa to the UK and comes in with his dad. The dad return to Nigeria and leaves the boy with me. 7 years later, when the boy is 17, he can go to ‘regularise’ his status?

abuhusna1:

Sure. If he can demonstrate 7 years rule by showing his school records and other stuffs that proofs he had lived in the uk for 7 years

Please anyone know schengen country that has biometric appointment dates? I’ve checked Greece and I cannot see anything till March 2024. Same thing with Croatia. Ideally looking for an appointment next week w/c 29th Jan. Thank you

Cyberknight:

This is correct to an extent. However, it is debatable whether this provision is absolute and will be applicable in cases where parents deliberately decided not to pay for visas for their children while they continued paying for themselves and either could have afforded to pay for the children's visas or could have stretched themselves to do so or sought a fee waiver if they genuinely could not pay.
At some point any such children's status might come to the HO's notice, either when they are registering for school somewhere or if they have to seek non-emergency treatment and the parents incur a bill or if a landlord asks for BRPs when parents move house, etc.
Remember that the general thrust of visa policy in this country is to collect money from migrants to pay for public services, so allowing people to get away with not paying for dependants visas to save themselves money would entail creating moral hazard that the HO might or might not decide to follow up on.

ReesheesuKnack:


You may have to (very painfully) call up agents. They can arrange a genuine appointment for you on a day or three -depending on how much you are willing to pay.

I speak from (my) experience. I had to (very painfully pay up to £200) to an agency in London last year.
Alternatively, book and wait for an appointment in March or April or whenever there is availability.

It is happening life and clear. Don’t be overly emotional about it. Thousands of overstayers are milking it.
I don’t support this but it is what it is. Until it is banned, it remains the mode of operation of so many people. Join immigration platforms and you would be left speechless.

Please people, has any of the below happened, and what are the implications?

Parents applied for Graduate visa and couldn't do so for the kids, all less than 6years old, because of fund.

Particular questions
1. Is there anyway it affects or will affect the parents visa?
2. In what specific ways does it affect the children?
3. What if the family doesn't have long term plan living here. Looking at moving elsewhere in near future. Does it matter or wouldn't it be a waste of scarce money ( let's say that have it) applying for children that won't be needing a brp for anything or right to work?

The bolded is a very difficult pill to swallow. It’s the best decision if no other means to get the money, But very very difficult to swallow. It’s far better than having a dent on their young fresh travel history. it’s very very hard.

@farnet have you tried getting a loan here in the UK?

Lack of accommodation may prove a challenge as you should be able to show that you’re able to accommodate your kids and grandparents. You’ve already gone ahead to pay for the visa fees but if I were you I’ll wait to resume my job, have proof of address and at least one pay slip to show proof of income.

Mehn, the number of tuition support and go fund me I've seen on Twitter in the last 2 weeks ehn ( that's minus the RIP tweets for Nigerian students...)

Think people don't plan for the realities on ground

Things are no longer the way they were, it was easy to get part time jobs but not anymore because full time workers are now in abundance so employers prefer them.

I used to be an advocate of "come, you will hussle and survive, don't let anybody discourage you", but with the financial burden and emotional stress I have got to bear from students this period, my guy, I won't discourage you o, but I will tell you before you come that you should not count on me.
