Family and Dependents
Whether you are settled permanently (with Indefinite Leave to Remain or British Citizenship) or staying in the UK on a temporary basis, we can help you to become reunited with your family.
With the introduction of the Civil Partnership Act 2004, Civil Partners are treated the same as married couples under the Immigration Rules. Unmarried (including same-sex) partners also continue to benefit under the Immigration Rules. However, there are a number of obstacles that couples may face and it is important that you understand the requirements of a particular category under the Immigration Rules before submitting an application.
There are provisions in the Immigration Rules which allow for children to join their parents in the UK but, each application will be unique and in our experience not all applications are straight forward. Dependant relatives must also consider the Immigration Rules carefully, where stringent requirements apply.
