• You are unable, even with the practical and financial help of your family member in the UK, to obtain the required level of care in the country where you are living because it is not available and there is no person (close relative, home-help, housekeeper, nurse, carer, care or nursing home) in your country who can reasonably provide it, or because it is not affordable;

Extension of stay with Adult Dependent Relative Visa

Having arrived the UK as an adult relative of a qualifying UK resident, you may need to extend your stay after the expiration of your entry visa. Before your initial grant of leave as an adult relative, you will need to apply to UK Visas and Immigration to extend your stay.

You will need to make sure that your application for extension satisfies the relationship, financial, accommodation and immigration status requirements again. We can assist with this extension once you are already in the UK. The exact requirements for such extension will vary depending on your circumstances.

Reviews and Appeals

There are many reasons why your visa applications may be refused by the UK Visas and Immigrations, especially when you fail to seek expert advice before your first attempt. Sometimes, denial could be on technical ground or done in error by a consular officer.

If your application for entry clearance or leave to remain in any circumstances at all has been refused, our expert immigration lawyers can advise on the merits of making a fresh application or challenging the decision.

If your application was refused by the consular officer as a result of failure to correctly apply the UK Immigration Rules or Home Office policy, then our immigration experts can bring Administrative Review proceedings to challenge the decision to refuse your application.

Also, if the refusal of your application is adjudged by our experts as a decision reached unlawfully, unreasonably or procedurally improper, then our immigration experts can bring an application for Judicial Review. We will also brief our barristers to represent you at Judicial Review hearings.
