Hi all, I need to know if its possible to bring my 13 years old niece here in UK permanently. Is adoption an option or student visa. Please advise Tigress
Hi tiger&tigress, Maybe the others can confirm, but I thought people who come to live here in the UK can only bring their sons or daughters.
Sorry to say this, but a student visa will not usually be a route for permanent residence in UK. Well not unless your niece would continue building her studies and extending her student visa until she married a UK citizen or UK ILR visa holder. One other possibility is via Dependent Visa. There are possibilities for a number of family members to join you if you can prove they financially rely on you. No offence intended, just trying to clarify.
Adoption could be a preferred route. But it may open other cans of worms, tho......... Especially in Pinas... Preferential treatment and all that blarney...
