Family Settlement Visas
There are several family-based immigration routes that enable UK residents to be joined by their family members.
Applicants must meet all requirements set out under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules. The most common reasons for refusal include failure to meet the financial requirement and the English language requirement. The current minimum income threshold has increased to £29,000 per annum.
Other family settlement categories include the Adult Dependant Relative visa, Parent of a Child visa, and Child of British Parent(s). Each route carries distinct eligibility criteria, and careful preparation and consideration of the circumstances is required when preparing an application under any of these categories.
Our Immigration team is well placed to advise on all aspects of the family settlement routes. If you require further guidance or support with a particular application, please do not hesitate to contact us.
